Elon: Starship will launch straight up with 5,000 tons, heavier than any aircraft "Starship is the largest flying object ever made. This thing will be over 5,000 tons of weight on liftoff.”

Elon Musk: I'm not sure people totally understand how big Starship is. “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.” The Joe Rogan Experience, February 11, 2021

The SpaceX Starship Superheavy launch vehicle will be the largest flying object ever made. Watch as I turn into a few pixels at the bottom of this ship, as the scale becomes true.

ELON: STARSHIP IS A MOON ROCKET ON STEROIDS "Starship is a crazy program on so many levels because you've got something with 2,5 the thrust of the Saturn V moon rocket, which was previously the largest rocket and largest flying object ever made. Starship is roughly 3 times the thrust, about 2 times the weight of the next largest flying object ever made, and has the goal of being fully and rapidly reusable. I think it's one of the hardest engineering challenges that exists. When we 1st started talking about Starship, people thought this was impossible." Source: Tesla Owners Silicon Valley

Starship Is The Largest And Most Powerful Space Transportation System Ever Built Standing over 400 feet (123m) tall with a 9m diameter, it is as Elon Musk stated “the largest flying object by far ever made.” Its current configuration delivers ~72 MN of liftoff thrust, already double the Saturn V’s 35.1 MN. With Raptor 3 engines, it will reach nearly three times the Saturn V’s thrust. Designed as the backbone for multiplanetary expansion, Starship can deliver 100–150 metric tons to LEO fully reusable (up to 250 tons expendable). This capability is essential for deploying massive infrastructure such as orbital AI data centers and transporting the millions of tons of cargo and thousands of people required to establish a self-sustaining civilization on Mars. Size matters when building across the solar system.

Elon Musk says Starship V4 aims to achieve 10,000 metric tons of thrust at liftoff, or about 22 million pounds of force, roughly 3 times more powerful than the Saturn V Moon rocket This thing will be an absolute monster of a rocket!

Elon on why Starship is the rocket that changes everything: Starship is the first rocket design capable of full and rapid reusability…it’s going to revolutionize space entirely Reusability is the fundamental breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary and climb the Kardashev Scale You cannot expand life to the Moon, Mars, or the rest of the solar system if every rocket gets thrown away after one flight It would be like throwing away an airplane after every trip That is why Starship matters Not just reusable Rapidly reusable Launch, land, get caught by the tower, go back on the stand, and fly again with no major refurbishment - like an aircraft This is what makes Starship so profound The largest flying object ever made The heaviest flying object ever made The most powerful moving object of any kind Starship V3 has more than double the thrust of Saturn V V4 is expected to be nearly 3x Saturn V And long term, Starship is going to fly more than once per hour

ELON: AS THE PROPHECY FORETOLD... STARSHIP WILL HAVE 42 ENGINES "As the prophecy foretold by the great prophet Douglas Adams in the book, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the answer to the meaning of life is 42, so the Starship stack will have 42 engines. Starship is fully reusable, with 200 tons of payload to orbit. Twice that of the Saturn V moon rocket... So this is a very BIG rocket" Source: Elon Musk

Elon Musk on Starship: — The next launch will be the final one using the Starlink V2 stack; after that, Starship moves to Version 3, a major upgrade with Raptor 3 engines and many changes — V3 may face initial challenges due to the redesign, but it will be capable of fully reusable launches delivering over 100 tons to orbit — Barring major setbacks, SpaceX expects to demonstrate full reusability next year, recovering both the booster and the ship

“Starship is fully reusable, but will have twice the payload to orbit of the next biggest rocket that made it to orbit, which is the Saturn V. In fact, without reusability, Starship would have about 400 tons of payload to orbit.”

And with a glimpse of the future, views from Starship entering Earth’s atmosphere were made possible by Starlink. Soon, Starship will launch our V3 Starlink satellites, which will add 60 Tbps of capacity to the network per launch – more than 20x per Falcon 9 launch today

Elon Musk: The next version of Starship will be capable of delivering over 100 tons to orbit while being fully reusable. “Starship version 3 is a gigantic upgrade because it's got Raptor 3. And pretty much everything changes on the rocket. It might have some initial teething pains because it's such a radical redesign, but it's capable of over 100 tons to orbit, fully reusable. I think, unless we have some very major setbacks, SpaceX will demonstrate full reusability next year, catching both the booster and the ship and being able to deliver over 100 tons to a useful orbit.” From: Interview at the All-In Summit, September 10, 2025

Elon Musk on Starship “This is the largest flying object ever made. So, to catch it with giant robot arms and pluck it out of the sky is pretty insane, but I think it's got a decent chance of working. It might take a few kicks at the can before it works. But we're not breaking physics, so success is one of the possible outcomes here.”
