Looks small.

Yes, its so hard to get a sense of scale, our brains just don't have a reference

  To note, there is a human standing in every picture except for one as far as I could see. While it isn't too good of a reference since the size difference is so big, it's at least something.

    I found a human in every picture. The last one was hardest, but in the white cherry picker in the air, and beside the orange cherry picker on the ground. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E8HaippVIAEsnIG?format=jpg&name=orig https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E8HaippVIAEsnIG?format=jpg&name=...

    Also knowing a ring is about 1.8m or 6 "someones extremities" high should help, but somehow it still doesn't give a "feel" for the height

It looks small but it is not. I found a photo montage with Saturn V. The size should be approximately correct from what I can tell. https://twitter.com/raumvektor/status/1423633590743617542 https://twitter.com/raumvektor/status/1423633590743617542 Edit: here is another, including Saturn V, SLS, the Space Shuttle and the Statue of Liberty. https://twitter.com/DrChrisCombs/status/1423642585868931074 https://twitter.com/DrChrisCombs/status/1423642585868931074

There’s a person in a cherry picker in the last photo for scale.

Someone on reddit photoshopped both StarShip and Saturn V on their respective launchpads next to each other. https://i.redd.it/13rkrzq0bkf71.png https://i.redd.it/13rkrzq0bkf71.png

This is from a live feed just after the stacking point. Humans in monsterously tall cherry picker for scale: https://youtu.be/4B2_dfvRZ4M?t=4945 https://youtu.be/4B2_dfvRZ4M?t=4945

  I think this one represents the scale the best.

  Gigantic! It looks like one side of the Starship is coated in some black material. Is it some form of thermal plating or just kind of "no-scratch" thing just for stacking?

    Thermal tiles, they’re waiting for the rest to arrive
