The rockets compared graphic doesn't really do starship justice. The S-5 did have the lunar module in there but the crew and cargo capacity of starship dwarfs what the S-5 was set up for.

The cargo compartment of Starship is 30,000 cubic feet. If you have a 3,000 square foot house with 10 foot ceilings, literally everything inside your house can fit into Starship. I'm not talking about just the objects. The entire volume of the house. EVERYTHING inside the walls, up to a maximum mass of 100 tons. In terms of volume and payload, Starship and a 747 Freighter are similar in their capabilities. They're almost identical in terms of volume, but the 747 lifts about 30-40 more tons than Starship. On the other hand, Starship very quickly passes up the 747 on its way to orbit.
Meanwhile, Bezos rides a dick a couple of miles up.

I saw a comment a year or two back about how N Korea's rocketman was trying to develop a system to hit us after another failure, while we have car salesmen putting their old cars into outer space..... and on that: LINK /

The low earth orbit payload in the image is incorrect for the Saturn V. It hauled 195000 into leo for Skylab. The 118000 listed would be Trans lunar injection used for the moon missions.
