The Saturn V is still to this day one of the most powerful rockets in the world. It was, as previously mentioned, developed by Wernher von Braun, the same one who developed the Saturn 1B and Mercury-Redstone. This rocket had one task, to carry Americans to the surface of the moon. The Saturn V ran 10 missions as part of the Apollo program, 9 lunar missions, 8 lunar landings, and one test flight.
