For context Saturn V, which held the title of most powerful rocket for over half a century, had 7.75 million pounds of thrust.

If you flip the picture over, it would be a pretty cool macro view of the moment a lightsaber is turned on. Or, am I just imagining things?

Seeing a lot of Starship posts since yesterday… It’s nice that it brought the hype and attention into spaceflight that haven’t been seen since the cold war ended.
And yeah, pretty big rocket. At 120m tall, 9 meters wide, it weighs 5000 tons and produces 7600 tons of thrust, more than double than the previous largest rocket, the Saturn 5. It will take humans to the Moon and Mars some day.

Beautiful display of power.
Space elevators would be nice to have.
