Are you referring to V2 as to the German WW2 rocket? What’s exciting about it nowadays?

I think V2 referrs to what will come after starship - something much bigger https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1166856662336102401
18m diameter is a big f'n rocket.
Gonna go out on a limb and guess the that O.P. was referring to a future Starship iteration. Alternately they could be a history buff.
The 'V' in that V2 stood for 'Vergeltungswaffen' (something like 'retaliation weapon'.)
The germans can stretch their nouns all the way to orbit
