Same size. But not as impressive.

PS5 will be louder. Surely that counts for something?

 

[Ceallach]

I mean, the Fender Stratocaster is p cool too.

 

[Insane Metal]

It's the most beautiful rocket ever built, at least. Marvelous thing.

It's hella tight, go see the one in Houston if you get the chance

I was able to see the one in Huntsville AL once. Pictures don't do the scale justice.

[Roll Fizzlebeef]

I think i can agree,

But i also think star ship will beat it once its complete.

 

[nush]

I has to be the lego Star Destroyer.

Not quite "built" in the same way as a Saturn V, in fact this triumph of humanity is far smaller and delivers a even smaller "package."

Yet its impact for humanity is arguably on par or even greater.

Where does the Yaddle Fleshlight rank?

[Stouffers]

Brian Singer is a national treasure

 

[ManaByte]

Saw the one they have at Kennedy in person. It's seriously amazing.

 

[Plies]

It's undoubtedly one of the best things humans have built. I mean, it got us off the planet, ffs.

That is the one I've seen. Bad ass indeed.

 

[MetalAlien]

I'm going with this...

 

[AutisticWonton]

oil rigs are extremely impressive

 

[Mistershine.]

I love that when they were initially designing the SR-71 it was going to be coal powered.

Also that it can fly at nearly 1km per second, and that it was built to spy on the Soviet Union using titanium sourced from the Soviet Union.

 

[Elektro Demon]

It's cool but it's not the best thing mankind invented.

Distant seventh just behind SR-71

I'd like to nominate this as the worst use of the spoiler tag on GAF ever.

It's hard to argue against the Saturn V.

Essentially a massive controlled explosion to propel 50 metric tons into lunar orbit. It made this awesome sound at launch because the turbulent flow of expelled gas would keep breaking the sound barrier.

7.5 million pounds of thrust.

 

[Bolivar687]

I saw the display at the Johnson Space Center last year. It was definitely impressive.

However, the design of rockets and vaccines are dictated by their functionality. I would give the nod to something like the Hagia Sophia or Notre Dame. I don't think modern man could build stuff like that even if we wanted to.

 

[Tesseract]

Saw the one they have at Kennedy in person. It's seriously amazing.

i went out there not long ago to see it again

reinforced my belief that musk and friends are on the right path

[Aarbron]

Objectively, OP is spot on.

But damn, the X15 has always captured my imagination.

 

[Furlong]

(Removed, nsfw)

This bad girl has three working orifices - does the Saturn V have that?

 

[frostyxc]

Objectively, OP is spot on.

But damn, the X15 has always captured my imagination.

Wow, Mike Stoklasa has range!

The X-15 is pretty darn cool. It's no SR-71, but it's up there. I remember flying the X-15 in Flight Simulator X and having my mind blown that this thing had skids in place of rear landing gear. Suffice it to say, I crashed the thing into a "neighborhood" at the end of the runway. Good times.

 

[desertdroog]

Saturn V still amazes me and Elon Musk's Starship will be right there when it is operational.

I love the fact that Space X can land their rockets on end and reuse them, just like science fiction thought they should.

This thing has been under construction for over 133 years and has puzzled modern engineers struggling to finish the design. It is still slated to be completed in 2026. The Gaudi Cathedral

Says a lot about siesta culture. But definitely impressive.

Is that made of sand?

no, sand would never be able to support that weight
