Space Shuttle RSRM (Thiokol)
Easily the most monstrous piece of hardware we have on this site, each Shuttle
solid rocket booster puts out thrust equivalent to TWO Apollo F-1 engines.
And there are two on each STS. Combine this with the three Shuttle main engines and a Shuttle at liftoff
has as much thrust as a Saturn 5.
