the Saturn V is hands down the coolest thing humans have ever invented

on Apollo 15, the calculated total liftoff thrust (based on actual measurements) was about 7,830,000 pounds-force (34.81 MN), which increased to 9,200,000 pounds-force (40.8 MN) at T+135 seconds, just before center engine cutoff (CECO)

SLS-130 will provide 9.2 million pounds of thrust at liftoff. The SLS-70 will provide 8.4 million. NASA is still awesome.

How does that compare to modern transport lift rockets? (falcon for instance)
