Watch as SpaceX puts Starship 20 on top of Super Heavy Booster 4 at the new SpaceX orbital launch pad in Boca Chica, Texas... the first time Starship & Super Heavy will become 1.

this thing going to be really flipping tall when it's in position... almost 400 feet tall when it's all together.

ETA: they lifted Starship to the top of Super Heavy... had it on top... and then brought it back down and will apparently role Starship back to the production facility later today.

not actually attaching it today

Yeah, but is it going to look like a 400 ft schlong?

Am I the only one that is more impressed with the massive cranes they're using and the huge sky booms.

What do they need to take ships to outer space without rockets? Like on all the movies.

I love how they played “Fly Me To The Moon” on the loudspeakers as they stacked it.

Twitter video

The scale of this thing is insane (this is the world’s tallest rocket ever):
