This is cool!

Didn't realize how big saturn V rocket was wow. 100,000,000 lbs of thrust! I wonder how big elite ships would be next to these.

I read that the next Chinese rocket that must go to the moon will be also big that Saturn 5

Id say not very large, the biggest ship is like 280m long, i dont know how large these ships are, but that doesn't seem like much. The stations seems pretty huge though

There is one here at the Space Center here in Houston....

It's at the entrance laying on its side you can drive up to it.

Let me tell you. It's BIG

I think it had too, it just got to carry that much fuel to accelerate the craft enough to escape Earth's orbit.

The new Orion spacecraft's rockets that are under development I believe is even bigger (obviously because it needs to power to get to Mars).

Id say not very large, the biggest ship is like 60m long, i dont know how large these ships are, but that doesn't seem like much. The stations seems pretty huge though

Saturn rocket is huge. I remember seeing the Saturn V that they have on display at NASA's Kennedy Space Center back when I was a kid and it was big even from a distance, and it was lying sideways.

I did read that the Cobra is the size of a football field. (Soccer field if you're American and wrong )
The thing about this game is it's hard to judge perspective on how big your ship is due to a lack of size comparisons, they are big though.

 

[EAGLE 5]

The Cobra should be right about the size of a baseball field. I measured the dimensions using a map before if it were landed on a school's parking lot... pretty neat when you put dimensions in perspective.

Sorry, I was talking bout the E: D ships. The Saturn V rocket is insane

I wonder where the SLS (once it reaches full size) would sit on that?

I read that literally and for a minute in my mind you were picking up your children from school in a Cobra. I enjoyed that minute.

@barek oh, to much. I giggled a little reading that.

There's a comparison image on that page. The first version ("block I") is smaller than a Saturn 5. Looks like the block II version will be about the same size.

Ah, so there is. Missed that - cheers.
