A little perspective
Two-storey house vs Crew Dragon spacecraft: height comparison
The capsule and trunk height of a Crew Dragon spacecraft is about 1.01 times the height of a two-storey house.
A two-storey house is a residential building with two levels for living space.
Crew Dragon spacecraft is a reusable capsule developed by SpaceX to transport astronauts to and from low Earth orbit.
Both rulers start at the same zero and share one linear scale. Artwork keeps its original proportions. Horizontal rulers compare the selected spans; vertical brackets also identify height on the artwork.

Why this measurement?
Why we use 8 m
We compare the height of a two-storey house. This is an illustrative comparison value, not a claim that every example is the same.
An 8 m ground-to-ridge example; roof and storey heights vary.
