Yes it is. Starship, the part that will end up in orbit is longer than the truss section, which is the longest section of the ISS and has the solar panels on it. At the crash sight of SN8 watching the people walk around the wreckage, it gave a good indication of scale.
- fbender 6y agoStarship alone (the orbiter) is 50m. The truss of the ISS is 109m[1] long. While massive, Starship will still be dwarfed by the station (other than planned habitable volume or individual modules/elements).
