yeah, it's really hard to judge scale. Some startship pictures with workers right next to it help but without that the brain doesn't do a good job.

the shuttle looks much bigger there due to how small Mir is

Gross mass more than 10x larger
Maximum thrust nearly 3x higher, actual propulsive capability in orbit ~262 times higher
Total delta V with 100 tons of payload is 6.9 km/s, compared to 0.3km/s with 29.5 tons payload
At least ten times cheaper per launch, potentially 100x cheaper
Did not fall for the hydrogen meme
Not a solid fuel grain to be found
Infinitely easier to construct air frame using much cheaper and superior materials

Has there been a more mogged launch vehicle than Shuttle? Even Buran/Energia was better.
