holy shit it is bigger. And then I found this: http://nextbigfuture.com/2020/05/spacex-starship-is-bigger-and-cheaper-than-the-external-shuttle-tank.html
>The SpaceX Starship will have six Raptor engines but will still be larger and cheaper than the external fuel tanks of the Space Shuttle.
>A lightweight external space shuttle fuel tank, ET 94, was built at a cost of $75 million. This would be about $140 million in today's dollars after adjusting for inflation. The lightweight tank was intended to pull the shuttle into low-earth orbit. This version was cheaper to build than the super lightweight tanks, which were able to carry more cargo to the International Space Station.
>Elon Musk has a goal of building Starships for $5 million
