I like how the rocket hovering Illustrated a 1G thrust vs 1G effect = Hovering.
The Context of how its not the Performance of the Rockets that Improved over time but the Reliability. Their Thrust to Mass Ratio was roughly to 70-80. Comparing the 196B Shuttle Program 1.4B per launched (135 launches, 2 failures and partial failures) vs 49B Apollo Program with 4.7B per Launch.
