Elon Musk: Starship Is the Largest and Most Powerful Flying Object Ever Built

Elon Musk: Starship is the largest flying object ever made.

“I'm not sure people totally understand. Starship is the largest flying object ever made. This thing will be over 5,000 tons of weight on liftoff. It's going to go straight up with 5,000 tons.

This is much heavier than any aircraft, by far. No aircraft comes close to this weight. And it's going straight up. Aircraft can't go straight up.

It will have more than twice the thrust of a Saturn V. It's a big rocket.”
