How Big SpaceX Rockets Really Are

The Falcon 9 rocket is 230 feet or 70 meters tall. For comparison, this is about as tall as a 21 story building. This rocket is used to launch satellites into geostationary orbit.

The Big Falcon Rocket or BFR is roughly 350 feet or 107 meters tall. This was renamed the SpaceX Starship. For comparison, this is taller than the Statue of Liberty. The name Starship refers to both the reusable rocket and the cargo / crew capsule. And this is the rocket that can take us to Mars. The rocket by itself may be called the Super Heavy booster. The booster by itself is 230 feet tall. It is 100 feet or roughly 10 meters taller than the Saturn V launch vehicle used by NASA in the 1960s and 1970s. The Moon missions were Saturn rockets.

The Falcon 9 has 9 engines. Together, they produce 7.6 MN of thrust. The Superheavy rocket has roughly thirty engines.
