Space X putting Starship on top of the Big Heavy 4 booster. This pic puts into perspective just how huge this thing is.

It's going to be a sight to behold when this behemoth launches for the first time later this year or next year.

This really reminds me of that old famous black and white picture of skyscraper workers sitting on a bean way up there. This is the start of the upcoming space boom, like the skyscraper boom was 100 years ago. Pretty sure that's what they were going for by making this photo black and white.
