The three main engines on the STS series shuttle delivered 1.2 million pounds of thrust and 37 million horsepower. The fuel pump alone produced 71,000 HP. By comparison the first stage Merlin engines on the Spacex Dragon produce 1.25 million pounds of thrust. That would exceed 37 million horses. Any way you approach it you’re riding a bomb that you pray doesn’t malfunction! Godspeed Dragon crew!
