The company shared images of the rocket's "Ship" section being rolled out, featuring a humorous banana-for-scale reference to highlight the rocket's massive size. SpaceX is currently preparing for the 6th launch of the world's most powerful and largest rocket, Starship, where the company will once again attempt to catch the monstrous rocket on the launch pad. SpaceX has taken to its official X account to share images of the "Ship" section of the rocket being rolled out to the launch pad in preparation for the coming launch. The images reveal an engineering joke next to the "S31" moniker, an indicator of the ship version. The engineering joke is a banana holding a smaller banana for scale, which is likely a reference to engineers using a banana for scale when building something extremely large, such as Starship. Let's use that banana for scale. Starship fully stacked measures an astonishing 400 feet tall, and the average banana measures anywhere between 6 and 9 inches in height. Starship's 400-foot height in inches is 4,800 inches, and if you divide that by the average length of a banana, let's use 7 inches, it would mean Starship is 685 bananas tall.
