Florida Today Currently listed as launching no earlier than 1 a.m. Monday per the Space Coast Office of Tourism, Blue Origin's brand new orbital rocket promises to put on quite a performance when it launches. But just how does this new heavy lifter measure up? Blue Origin's massive New Glenn rocket comes in at a towering 320 feet tall — which is equivalent to a 32-story skyscraper. Still, it's overshadowed by SpaceX's Starship, which current launches from Texas and may launch from Kennedy Space Center in the coming years. Starship looms over all rockets throughout history at a whooping 395 feet tall. A history fact: if still utilized, NASA's Saturn V moon rocket which launched the Apollo missions would be slightly shorter than Starship. Saturn V stood at 363 feet tall. Meanwhile, NASA's upcoming Space Launch System (SLS), which will launch astronauts to the moon no earlier than 2026, reaches just above New Glenn at 322 feet tall. If you're remembering back to NASA's legacy Space Shuttle, which launched from 1981 to 2011, that was a smaller rocket. It's dwarfed by these newcomers. According to NASA, it stood at only 184 feet when stacked on the launch pad. That's still shorter than a Falcon 9 rocket — and a Space Shuttle orbiter by itself measures only 122 feet long. But our familiar SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket — which launches Starlink and other payload satellites frequently from Florida — is also small in comparison to these heavy lifting rockets. SpaceX's two-stage orbital rocket comes in at just 229 feet, which is almost a 10-story building less than New Glenn.
