Elon Musk shared calculations on his social media pages regarding the capabilities of the Starship spacecraft. According to him, the ship's payload volume exceeds 1000 cubic meters, which is almost equal to the total volume of the International Space Station (ISS). This is reported by Ixbt.com .
For comparison, it took 13 years, 42 separate launches, and over $150 billion to build the ISS. Starship, in a single flight, can carry a payload equivalent to the size of a five-bedroom house, over 100 satellites, or even parts of a Boeing 737 aircraft into orbit.
The height of the ship is 18 meters, which means it is taller than a five-story building. SpaceX emphasizes that the system is designed for full reusability, which will drastically reduce the costs of delivering telescopes, orbital stations, and Mars-bound modules in the future.
Experts call the Starship system an "engineering marvel" in the space industry. Currently, SpaceX is preparing for the next-generation Starship flight, having previously successfully tested the 33 engines of the Super Heavy rocket.
