It's like you're trying to take a skyscraper and getting it up into orbit. lol
Looking up that biggest one there..

What is this burning.. " liquid oxygen and liquid methane propellants". How do you get those.. do you get liquid oxygen from the air? I guess you could get it with doing electrolysis of water.
"How do you make liquid oxygen at home?"
"that was worth it so for this last experiment I'm going to show you the 4:36 method that I love to use the most for making liquid oxygen because it's very 4:39 cheap very economical you certainly get a lot more than an ounce and a half so 4:43 what exactly do we need to generate liquid oxygen well surprisingly the only 4:47 materials were going to need are a canister of liquid nitrogen and some 4:50 styrofoam cups now go ahead and grab yourself a Styrofoam cup in this case"
Oh so you just need "liquid nitrogen". Whatever.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_oxygen
" It was used as the oxidizer in the first liquid-fueled rocket invented in 1926 by Robert H. Goddard,[1] an application which has continued to the present."
So what's it do? "Oxidizer".. what's that for.
Then ya got the "liquid methane".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane#Fuel
"As a liquid rocket fuel, methane offers the advantage over kerosene of producing small exhaust molecules. This deposits less soot on the internal parts of rocket motors, reducing the difficulty of booster re-use. The lower molecular weight of the exhaust also increases the fraction of the heat energy which is in the form of kinetic energy available for propulsion, increasing the specific impulse of the rocket. Liquid methane also has a temperature range (91–112 K) nearly compatible with liquid oxygen (54–90 K)."
Can you make liquid methane at home. lol.
"GROSS! How to Make Methane Gas | Earth Lab
BBC Earth Lab"
Isn't "methane" the problem they got with all the cow exhaust?
"Cows emit a massive amount of methane through belching, with a lesser amount through flatulence."
What was the problems with the cows expelling.
"Are Cow Farts Causing Global Warming?" lol
Anyways.. lol
"Natural gas (also called fossil gas or simply gas) is a naturally occurring mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons consisting primarily of methane in addition to various smaller amounts of other higher alkanes. Usually low levels of trace gases like carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, and helium are also present.[1] Natural gas is colorless and odorless, so odorizers such as mercaptan, which smells like sulfur or rotten eggs, are commonly added to natural gas supplies for safety so that leaks can be readily detected.[2]"
The fuels are probably pretty cheap, isn't it. How much do they load in this biggest rocket. And really good how it's re-usable. Then it costs less. That shit must get roughed-up though from being used and could breach later.
Well that was originally proposed by Von Braun. Had to be the size of the empire state building. Others stated that the ship in space would be to heavy becus it needs to be covered in lead to protect from radiation unless scientists are dumb sometimes.
