Another amazing render by @GravitationInno (see https://www.gravitationinnovation.com/wallpaper).

Great render but somewhat misleading since the two launch vehicles are not to scale.

I believe it’s simply perspective due to the Saturn V bring behind/further back.

With the disclaimer that nothing here is to take away from a truly amazing and outstanding render.

No ... I don't agree.  There's some perspective but the suggestion is they are closer together that the perspective wouldn't be so different.  A straight non-perspective-skewed comparison would have SS at 162m vs. 110m for Saturn V.

I think you could make the argument Saturn V is on some pad a mile or so back but it seems the implication is they are closer together.

162m? Where do you get THAT from?

The height of Saturn V in the render is 767px.  SS/SH 1133px.  The ratio multiplied by Saturn V's 110m height would be 162m if those two rendered articles were not skewed by perspective.  They are, but not enough to account for SS/SH only being 118m (ish ... +/- any delta due to possible recent design changes).

Looking at the top of the SpaceX tower, there's an awful lot of perspective skew. I could see "Saturn 5 tower is a crawlerway width behind the Starship tower, and Saturn 5 in behind it's own tower."

The same scaling for the diameter would have SH at 43.5 ft or conversely Saturn V at 25 ft.  Somebody do the calcs on how far back Saturn V would have to be to make 33 ft look like 25 ft.

That sounds like a simple 3/4 calculation- the Saturn 4 is 4 (units) away, the starship is 3 (units) away.

In April @ElonMusk teased 2 new low resolution renders with @SpaceX's #Starship on the Moon and at Mars Base Alpha. Now we have HD resolution versions of those renders from Paul Wooster's presentation at #Humans2Mars summit 2019 organized by @ExploreMars:

@tea monster
Just out of curiosity. What is the dimensions of the windows on the side of your starship render?

Mine are .457 meters tall. I might adjust them.

Sometimes I get things right!

Only a month or so in advance but I'm happy  :)

Or almost right, I see they are lifting from the core and not the legs.  Still, wouldn't be surprised to see these on Mars some day.

The width may be a little too much.

Starship on the Moon.

The more realistic, the more unbelievable...   8)

--

Since there's some speculation about addition of a deployable 4th leg or landing strut, I'll just post the supposed strut's, ah, "pre-render", from Destination Moon, 1950.  Rocketship Luna.







[Landing strut in red.]

Quote from: LaWik
"The film's premise is that private industry will mobilize, finance, and manufacture the first spacecraft to the Moon, and that the U.S. government will be forced to purchase or lease the technology to remain the dominant power in space..."
