And probably an order of magnatitude different for the shuttle.  It takes 
more fuel to lift more fuel to altitude and the load you're lifting (fuel) 
is decreasing along the way.

Did anyone ever play the lunal lander simulator.  If you held the throttle 
steady, you would decent, hover, then blast back into space just on the 
weight change.
