Bowen Cameron: Neopork: Cosmic Perspective: Adam Cuker: South Padre Surf Company : Ryan Hansen Space: iamVisual: @iamVisualVFX Kimi Talvitie: TijnM_3DAnimations : TijnM: ======= Elon Musk's level of ambition is truly unmatched! While his company - SpaceX is preparing to launch the first Starship orbital flight later this month, which no other rocket comes close to, the CEO has once again shocked the whole rocket industry when revealing the next version of the Starship, which is simply a more powerful monster! What does the next-generation Starship look like? And why does SpaceX need such a huge rocket?

Dima Zeniuk has recently shared a comparison picture of the “Rockets of the world“. According to the picture, SpaceX Starship is the largest rocket at the present, especially with its full-stack state as it stands above the massive Super Heavy booster rocket that completes the stainless-steel vessel. Interestingly, CEO and owner Elon Musk replied that the Starship “Will get bigger. Ship will probably stretch by another 10m or so.“ “And we need to add 3 more Raptor Vacuum engines because it’s inevitable“, Musk added.

When Musk initially outlined what was then known as the “BFR“ in September 2017, the ship itself measured 46 meters (150 feet) and the whole vehicle measured 106 meters. When Musk unveiled the Starship Mk.1 prototype at the Boca Chica facility in Texas in September 2019, complete with its new stainless-steel approach, the ship measured its current 50 meters and the full design measured 118 meters.
