Once it gets its first stage "Super Heavy" it will be the largest rocket ever built. Over 400ft tall with a 30ft diameter.

It's got some serious girth.

Incredible!

 

[CagleMtnVol]

She came in a little hot!

 

[Orangeburst]

Crap. She came in hot

 

[CagleMtnVol]

I'd say it was 95% successful!

Elon gave it 30%

 

[twoffo]

Wow!

 

[Matt2496]

That was incredible!!!

It did crash on the landing pad so that's a plus!

Wonder if those motor boost phase flameouts were intentional and if maybe hey did not re-light.

 

[Matt2496]

I'm just amazed it made it back to the pad.

 

[Orangeburst]

Those motors look tiny to me, but hey I am not a rocket scientist

Hopefully not too much collateral damage to the launch area. I saw the tent has a rip in its side but that can easily be repaired.

They are smaller, but they have about as much thrust as an RS-25 Shuttle engine.

The Raptor. Let is the atmospheric model, right is the vacuum engine.
