Just for reference, this isn't perfectly accurate because i can't find exact measurements of the booster only, but the entire starship is a little over 400ft.

This makes the Statue of Liberty a tad taller than the booster alone from what it looks like, but this should give some references to try to picture the scale of what just happened and why this is a big deal.

This is the rocket that they expect to be able to potentially take humans (back? 🤔) to the moon and further, and it just launched into space, returned on its own, and was firmly and safely placed back to the exact same position where it will take off from for its next mission. 🤯

This is where you can see the workers in comparison...

FYI, I asked Venice for a list of things that are 305 feet high, since I haven't seen the statue of liberty in years (and never up close) so I wanted to find another point of reference, and it looks like the statue is 305 feet tall, without the pedestal:

The Washington Monument in Washington D.C., USA

The Luxor Obelisk in Paris, France

The Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square, London, England

The Statue of Liberty, without the pedestal, in Liberty Island, New York City, USA

The Angel of Independence Monument in Mexico City, Mexico

The Monument to the Revolution in Mexico City, Mexico

The Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai Monument in Bhit Shah, Pakistan

The Meroe Pyramids in Meroe, Sudan

The Red Fort in New Delhi, India

The Gyeongcheonsa Temple in Gyeongju, South Korea
