Saturn V

American super-heavy lunar rocket

The rocket that took twelve people to the Moon between 1969 and 1972, and still the most powerful launch vehicle ever flown. Thirteen launches between 1967 and 1973; the last one put Skylab in orbit before NASA ran out of money and parked the programme for good.
