SpaceX's Starship seen in space by next-gen Starlink satellite (video)

We just got an amazing new view of SpaceX's Starship vehicle in space, thanks to one of the company's Starlink V3 broadband satellites.

The top 3

  1. SpaceX Starship's Unprecedented Thrust: SpaceX's Starship Super Heavy is the most powerful rocket ever built, generating approximately 16.7 million pounds (74,000 kN) of thrust at launch and designed to carry over 100-150 metric tons to low Earth orbit in a fully reusable configuration.
  2. Saturn V's Record Payload Capacity: NASA's Saturn V, famous for the Apollo missions, delivered 7.5 million pounds (34 MN) of thrust and holds the record for the largest payload capacity to low Earth orbit for a successfully flown rocket, at about 140,000 kg (310,000 lb).
  3. NASA's SLS: Most Powerful Operational Rocket: NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) Block 1 produces 8.8 million pounds (39 MN) of thrust at liftoff, making it the most powerful rocket to have successfully reached orbit and capable of carrying 95,000 kg to low Earth orbit for Artemis missions.
