Yes in terms of thrust, it’s almost double the nearest competitor, the SLS. SLS generates 8.8M pounds while the Starship generates 16.7M pounds.

Wouldn't its nearest competitor be the N1 rocket? That thing did have some liftoffs.

N1 had half the thrust of Starship: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_heavy-lift_launch_vehicl...

Nothing else comes close, even planned ones that aren't operational yet.

I didn't say N1 came close to starship, just that it was closer than SLS

Yes you’re probably right, it had just slightly more thrust than the SLS, at about 9M pounds.
