hmmm, I'm thinking that's not "The Worlds Biggest Combustion Engine." ...maybe, The Worlds Biggest Internal Combustion Engine.

iirc - The space shuttle burns somewhere around 23,000 lbs of fuel -per Second-
(~3,000lbs/s main, and ~10k_lbs/s for each solid booster.)

Now that's some big combustion.
