'Colossal' wouldn't begin to describe the rocket ultimately designed and built to allow humans to escape earth's gravitational grip and propel them to the moon. The Kennedy Space Center (KSC) at Cape Canaveral, Florida has one of two brand new, never-been-used Saturn V rockets on display. It is breath-taking to stand beneath this behemoth and imagine its power.
The first stage used 5 F-1 engines which produced 1,500,000 lbs of thrust each:
The second stage was powered by 5 J-2 engines which produced a total thrust of 1,250,000 lbs.
The third stage had one J-2 engine which produced 250,000 lbs of thrust.
The Saturn V is accompanied by displays of the manned Apollo mission insignias.
On top of the Saturn V are situated the service, lunar, and command modules, as well as the launch escape rocket at the very top which was designed to remove the astronauts from harm's way in the event of a launch mishap. Fortunately it never had to be used.
Also on display is the actual command module from the Apollo 14 mission.
The last image I'll leave you with is of the lunar rover training vehicle used to help moon-bound astronauts earn their lunar drivers license.
If you're interested, there's a wealth of information on the Saturn V, and NASA has done a stellar job of documenting the history of space flight.
