Having seen the picture of the X-37B on this thread (not to mention the technicians standing around it), I find it amazing to think that it's all  crammed into that little fairing. Really brings home the size of the Falcon 9.

I always get a bit of cognitive dissonance with the 'booster on a barge' pictures after a successful recovery. Rationally I know that I'm looking at an immense multi-story metal sculpture with rocket engines on the bottom.  But I really don't get that from the pictures - the scale is all wrong somehow.
