It's a lot of thrust. Quite ironic considering the actual payload is not much bigger than a car, heck, one single MIRV warhead in the 300-400 kiloton region is about the height of a man. Still, have to get it up into the optimum re-entry position.

One ICBM, multiple targets....Oh, the things we think of to kill each other with.
