"Exploring the Impressive Size of SpaceX's Starship Mega-Rocket"

SpaceX's Starship rocket, the tallest and most powerful rocket ever built, stands 164 feet tall and has a diameter of 29.5 feet. The Super Heavy booster, which is designed to thrust Starship into orbit and then return to Earth for more launches, is 226 feet tall and has a liftoff mass of 11 million pounds. Elon Musk dreams of using Starship to establish a human colony on Mars and has said it would take 1,000 Starship rockets to achieve this. The company plans to shuttle one Starship after another, like an airport to space, using Super Heavy's reusable capacity.
