>6.3 m in length, 85 cm in diameter, 900 kg dry weight/1,312 kg wet weight





That's just a tad longer than a north-american SUV (Escalade, Navigator) standing on it's back. Accurate to say it's a car-sized rocket.

I'm a bit confused, most cars aren't more than 3m in length. This rocket is 6.3m.

Or are there really SUVs which are > 6m in length?


Current gen Prius is about 4.5m in length, 1.8m in width, 1.5m in height. "Slightly under 5 x 2 x 1.5m" has been the standard size of a sedan for past few decades.

the mentioned suvs are 5.7m and 5.6m long, respectively

wow, and I thought F350s were big

Huh? Even in Europe most cars are longer than 4m (a VW Golf is 4.28m for example).
