Interesting question, maybe relative to the tech at the time it was. But in absolute terms I don't think anything comes close to 'hitting 25 micron molten drops of tin that are moving at 70 meters per second with two co-ordinated lasers in a vacuum 50,000 times a second'. And that's just the very first part of what the machine does.
