Do you watch the 60s video for like, the Apollo program or USAF stuff, really, just 60s space stuff in general?

Lately I've been scouring the interwebs to find some, just for personal enjoyment and to possibly act as a KSP pitch to a buddy he's some I found, some which you, probs alr know:

USAF Film, "Why Space"-

Sputnik Newsreel-

And another one, this one about the lunar Apollo EMU-

He's at the end of this one, maybe the last third is him.

Note that the S1/S2 interface is 13.5m in diameter.

The distance from that interface to the top is almost exactly Starship height.

That just puts into perspective how flipping tall the Ferry Rocket is.
TANGENT TIME

I just need a place to share this, mostly the "Starship 2.0"  *Wide putin music starts playing*
I looked up "Starship" in google image, and this came up TANGENT OVER

It's considerably shorter than SS/SH. In fact the Ferry Rocket is about 80m tall, total. S1 base diameter is 20m.

This is about right. The Shuttle/SS image I rescaled using the tank diameters (was on twitter but was wrong). Might be off a little, the "scale" figures on the model are wonky, I used the supposed S2 diameter for scale.

Those stairs on the ferry rocket, at least Starship and the Space Shuttle have elevators.
