These are the 15 most powerful rocket engines of all time, each ordered by their thrust at sea level. Because, it turns out that the thrust you get in the vacuum of space is different to that on ...

However, each of these engines was only about two-thirds as powerful as the Raptor 2 rocket engines bolted to the Super Heavy rocket. And, oh yeah, the N1 was a massive failure.

Within seconds of launching, the rocket’s ferocious thrust shattered the concrete pad at SpaceX’s Texas Starbase facility, ... the N1 first stage produced 10.2 million pounds of thrust.

“Improved thrust & Isp from Raptor will enable ~6000-ton liftoff mass,” Musk added. The CEO was responding to a Twitter user looking to compare Starship with Soviet N1. N1 was aimed at ...

The SpaceX Super Heavy booster, with all 33 modern power units, should produce roughly 70% more thrust off the launch pad than the N1. Even the US space agency Nasa's new mega-rocket, the Space ...

The Soviet Union's N1 moon rocket — its version of the Saturn V — generated about 10 million pounds of thrust, but the vehicle flew just four missions in its short life, all of them failures ...
