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?

Blue Origin still looks more like a penis than anything SpaceX builds

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

Bezos touched the edge of space and immediately came back down. Musk has his spacecraft docking with the ISS carrying astronauts on long term missions. Bezos is a poser in comparison. He has a flying dildo...WHOOPIE!

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

How to tell everyone you know literally nothing about any of this without saying it.

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

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