This is epic. If someone hasn't already posted it (and if not, why the heck not)....

I loved it, I've seen countless videos and pics comparing rockets, engines and other components to other everyday items (and have seen several rockets and shuttles up close), but every time I do it still amazes me how huge those things actually are, and how we somehow managed to get them into space!

That is a good video.  really fun.

Only thing that’d make it more fun is  side by side of other rockets like Atlas V, Shuttle, New Glenn etc.
Starship, Vulcan and Ariane 6 have all reached orbit.  New Glenn, well we are waiting!

This doesn't include any of the rockets you mentioned, but it's very close to what you describe.

And a bunch of screenshots. The duo that made it are really cool, hope they do more SpaceX/spaceflight projects in the future :)

Great video. Going to have to add that to my next space lecture.  :D
I cheer for both NASA and commercial space. For SLS, Orion, Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, Dragon, Starship/SH, Starliner, Cygnus and all the rest!
I was blessed to see the launch of Space Shuttle Endeavour on STS-99. The launch was beyond amazing. My 8-year old mind was blown. I remember the noise and seeing the exhaust pour out of the shuttle as it lifted off. I remember staring and watching it soar while it was visible in the clear blue sky. It was one of the greatest moments of my life and I will never forget it.

Everyday Astronauts version of the same video. Both were in development around the same time.
