Size comparison between Shuttle and Starship

It made lift off

 

[H2O MAN]

Unexpected disassembly happened.

Pretty sure they blew it after it started flipping.

After about the third loop they used the self destruct...

Oh, and something like twice the power of the Saturn IV.

Elon seemed real relaxed considering 40 million or whatever it cost decided to disassemble itself after hitting a cloud.

 

[Stampede]

Getting it off the ground and on to the second stage was a huge accomplishment.

Elon was unconcerned about it as he learns each time and moves on to the next step. I think another launch is coming later this year.

Wouldn’t have happened if it was battery powered.
Looks like a giant vibrator anyway, and the technology exists…

People look miniscule in reference to the Starship.

Not now.

It didn’t blow up. According to the engineers, it suffered a rapid disassembly before second stage ignition.

And the difference would be??.....
