230 metric tons x 33 engines = 7590 metric tons of force. 7590 x 9806 Newton/ton = 74.4 MegaNewtons of force. The Saturn 5 had 34 MegaNewtons of thrust. This makes the starship 2.2 times as powerful as the Saturn V that took us to the moon.

Each Raptor 1 engine above produces 185 metric tons of force. Raptor 2 just started production & will do 230+ tons or over half a million pounds of force.

I love the theory that @SpaceX wants to launch quicker than a lawsuit could stop them. Too funny. Basically they would launch after the receipt of the launch license faster than a judge could approve an injunction. The world we live in. Lawyers!
