The SuperDoves are the size of a shoebox. Many of the other payloads on the Falcon rocket were little bigger than a coffee mug, however; and some were smaller even than a paperback book.

SpaceX: World record number of satellites launched

Consider the Earth’s history as the old measure of the English yard,
the distance from the King’s nose to the tip of his outstretched hand.
One stroke of a nail file on his middle finger
erases human history.

I was at a bachelorette party Sat. We were in the backyard and noticed some really high up bright lights. It looked like a search helicopter, but higher. Next day we learned we saw the SpaceX rocket. Cool. It was definitely easy to see.
