A Historic Launch: The Saturn V Rocket Takes Flight
Witness the iconic Saturn V rocket, the powerful launch vehicle that propelled the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. This massive rocket, standing at 363 feet tall, lifted off from Kennedy Space Center on July 16, 1969, carrying astronauts Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin on their historic journey.

Today’s #SpacetoberChallenge is #History! DIANA PIERCES THE AZURE SKY is a #watercolor tribute to Apollo 4, the first successful flight of the Saturn V rocket! 
One of only three Saturn V rockets left in the world, this one is on display in the Saturn V Hall of the Davidson Center for Space Exploration in Huntsville, AL.
And it is massive.

And still, I hear the MTV "bump, da dump, da dump da dump, bump, da dump, da dada dada dump, da dump, et cetera" every time I see the Saturn V.

Adjusted for inflation, the cost of one launch of the #SaturnV in the 1960s was around $1.5 billion , which is a far cry from the $4 billion required for just one #SLS launch https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/32011-nasas-powerful-and-contraversial-sls-rocket-ready-to-launch
AeroTime · SLS: NASA’s most powerful and controversial rocket is ready to launch - AeroTimeAt the end of 2016, the aerospace industry held its breath as the largest and most powerful rocket ever built – NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) – prepared to lift off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. A worthy successor to the Space Shuttle, the SLS is a successful collaboration of some of the

2/ Now, let's have a look back more than 55 years. Do you know how many failures did Saturn V / Apollo have? (not counting Apollo 13, where the mission failed but the crew survived). ZERO. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, more than 55 years ago people could actually build rockets that didn't explode or fell back in pieces and actually were able to fly men to the moon and back, all that when space age was barely 10 years young
