I must say, though, that after years of reading descriptions of the

hardware with my own eyes I was impressed not by how large it was but
by how *small*. That is, by the fact that something just a few times
the size of a large truck could go all the way to the Moon and back.
....Part of the problem in the size (mis)perception is that the two
stacks you can get close to are lying on the ground. Standing upright,
the immensity is more apparent.
