Hugeawseomethings often trigger a crisis of values on an existential level. "Holy shit, that's sweet!" you may say when gazing upon the Hugeawesome power and pathos of an excellently large missile-rocket. "But," you may continue, "this Hugeawesome missile-rocket is designed to deliver a cluster of thermonuclear warheads to multiple civilian targets..." Enter Dilemma at stage left (or right, depending on your political philosophy).
A case-in-point for the environmentally conscious: the MAN Takraf RB293 Bucket Excavator, the largest terrestrial vehicle in human history.
This Hugeawesomething is 95 meters tall and 215 meters long. It can dig 10 meters per minute and is capable of moving more than 76,000 cubic meters of coal, rock and earth per day.
Translation: Hugeawesome strip-miner.
How is one to reconcile this Bucket Excavator's Hugeawesomeness with its blatantly destructive habits?!
