    A bit pedantic, but unless I’m misinterpreting the Wikipedia page for the V2, I think it’s only 4 to 6 fully fueled V-2s based on the listed payload capacity of 100-150 tons US.

    V-2 dry: 27,600 lb
    Warhead: 2,200 lb
    Propellant: 8,400 lb 75% ethanol / 25% water, 10,820 lb liquid oxygen

    Total weight: ~24.5 tons US

      I appreciate your pedantry. I was just going off a quick google for “weight of V-2 fully loaded” and “mass of Starship to orbit” because it’s been quite a busy day here.

      You’re technically correct, and that’s the best kind. 🎖️
