Just for reference, this isn't perfectly accurate because i can't find exact measurements of the booster only, but the entire starship is a little over 400ft.
This makes the Statue of Liberty a tad taller than the booster alone from what it looks like, but this should give some references to try to picture the scale of what just happened and why this is a big deal.
This is the rocket that they expect to be able to potentially take humans (back? 🤔) to the moon and further, and it just launched into space, returned on its own, and was firmly and safely placed back to the exact same position where it will take off from for its next mission. 🤯
This is where you can see the workers in comparison...

quoting note14jt…hc60So this just happened.
"This is absolutely insane, on the first EVER attempt we have successfully caught the super heavy booster back at the launch tower..."
Truly incredible.
