NASA just test fired it's new (and biggest ever) solid rocket booster for the Constellation class delivery system - at its peak, it will push 3.6 million pounds of thrust!

Sure! Given that my grandfather worked in the aerospace industry making parts for both the Space Shuttle and the SR71, I love seeing pictures like that and seeing how far we've come and how far we have to go at the same time.
