Largest rocket freeze pop in Florida's history

[Legend]

An erector is used to bring a rocket from horizontal to vertical. This rocket is the second largest rocket in history to use an erector.

Only the soviet N1 was larger yet still used an erector. Massive American rockets tend to stay vertical at all times.

Better pic of this thick rocket.



And here's a comparison chart since size matters.




I'm pretty excited for it. Starship is bigger and better in every single way but there's room for multiple awesome rockets in the world.

Meet New Glenn! Our vehicle upended on its launch pad today for the first time. The rocket will remain vertical for at least a week for a series of tests in preparation for its first launch later this year. Thank you to our customers, partners, and everyone else championing… pic.twitter.com/Zw7jWiT3gS
