Crazy! Going by the higher 7.6 kn figure mentioned elsewhere in this thread, that'd be closer to 450 million N s.
For another comparison, Wikipedia gives an estimate of "Apollo 11 launched from Earth to orbit" at 495 million N s [1]. So this is a momentum that's order-of-magnitude comparable to space launches.
