| Oct 28, 2020 at 23:25 | comment | added | uhoh | @lijat I don't know but 1) the OP has asked a series of absolute questions (shortest, smallest) so I'd guess it's the same absolute, 2) that makes for an excellent new question! e.g. Which launch "most barely" got off the pad? or Most gradual lift-off? The answer would obviously not be this: Did the Perseverance rover's Atlas 5 really “leap off the pad”? If so, was it because the payload is tiny, or because it's going to Mars? :-) | |

| Oct 28, 2020 at 15:53 | comment | added | peterh | Thrust is the force what the drive creates, measured in Newton (N). The question is surely not VLQ (imho it is a pretty okay one, at least now). | |

| Oct 28, 2020 at 15:09 | comment | added | PearsonArtPhoto♦ | I think the question is now what the OP intended, although I could be wrong here. There has only been one first stage engine to make it to orbit that I am aware of, the Space Shuttle main engines, but I think the first stage thrust for an orbital rocket is what is actually desired here. | |

I think this is what the OP actually wants

| Oct 28, 2020 at 14:47 | comment | added | Organic Marble | The shuttle's 6000 lbf OMS engines circularized the orbit. Does that count as "pushing into orbit"? How about the little verniers on the first stage of old Atlases? | |
