Surely you remember the days on FR when Jews weren’t really Jews. They were Khazars. The real Biblical Jews were white European-lineaged Southern Christians.

The last Saturn V launch was for the 77 ton (169,950 pounds) Skylab.

The Saturn V rocket was 111 meters (363 feet) tall, about the height of a 36-story-tall building, and 18 meters (60 feet) taller than the Statue of Liberty. Fully fueled for liftoff, the Saturn V weighed 2.8 million kilograms (6.2 million pounds), the weight of about 400 elephants. The rocket generated 34.5 million newtons (7.6 million pounds) of thrust at launch, creating more power than 85 Hoover Dams. A car that gets 48 kilometers (30 miles) to the gallon could drive around the world around 800 times with the amount of fuel the Saturn V used for a lunar landing mission. It could launch about 118,000 kilograms (130 tons) into Earth orbit. That’s about as much weight as 10 school buses. The Saturn V could launch about 43,500 kilograms (50 tons) to the moon.

97 tons was the landing weight — imagine if that most of that dead weight had been used for payload, we’d have a freakin’ colony on Mars and a city on the Moon.
