What company built the giant Starship rocket?

SpaceX built the giant Starship rocket, testing it with huge, exciting launches in 2024 and 2025 that people all over the world tuned in to watch. Starship is designed to be the tallest and most powerful rocket ever built, with the goal of one day carrying people and cargo far out into space, even toward other planets.

Lego makes toy building blocks and Pixar makes animated movies — fun companies, but neither one builds real rockets, so neither could have built something as enormous and powerful as Starship.

One especially exciting part of Starship's design is that its giant booster is meant to be caught back at the launch tower using huge robotic arms, rather than just splashing into the ocean, so it can be reused again on future flights.
