Thrust


A Saturn V rocket taking off. At 32 million horsepower, it is one of the most powerful things ever created.
It gives me chills to imagine riding on the tip of that rocket.

Imagine. Let's go ride on the world's most powerful rocket. When it starts, it shakes so badly you can barely see. When one stage is expired, you are thrown forward in your seat. When the next stage ignites, you are thrust backward in your seat with immense force.

All this was done with computers no more powerful than a cell phone.

Imagine what we can achieve now.
