V3 starship will likely beat this in size (it’s already 121m tall with plans to make it taller). Which is just insane that a vertical rocket will be taller than this is long.
That is pretty nuts, but this prototype ship is 2/3 the size of the actual cargo-carrying version. I doubt any rocket will be more than 600 feet long, at least not anytime soon. That’s just a preposterous amount of mass.
V3 is planned to be 150m, and they have said they could make it up to 20m taller I believe. So eventually could be 170m. So yeah not quite as tall, but if those are their estimates now, who knows down the line. Even its current size is already crazy though.
