It's a rocket in the same ballpark as the Saturn V but where the two stages can both be recovered and re-used.
SpaceX has demonstrated being able to fly the same rocket stage dozens of times with minimal refurbishment with their Falcon 9 family of rockets, but they still have to build and discard the second stage of the Falcon 9 for each launch.
Starship scales that up in magnitude and adds second-stage reusability.
