Saturn V
Canon 20D, 10-22mm @ 10mm, NASA Houston, Saturn V Rocket display, this thing is huge!
F-1 Engine
A cluster of five engines like these provided the power for the first stage of the Saturn V launch vehicle during the Apollo-Saturn test flights, manned flights to the Moon, and the launch of the Skylab orbiting laboratory into Earth orbit.
The engines were powered for 2 1/2 minutes lifting the Saturn V to an altitude of about 41 miles and a speed of about 6000 miles per hour. Each engine weighed 15,650 pounds and developed a thrust of 1,500,000 pounds.
(7.5 MILLION total pounds of thrust! The F22 Raptor has two engines @ 35,000lbs each to give you an idea of how much power that is)
