The Saturn V was a massive three stage rocket that worked marvelously for its purpose of getting the US to the Moon before anyone else. It long ago went out of production though and is now technologically obsolete.

The Saturn V's biggest drawbacks are that it is not reusable and relies on liquid hydrogen fuel. Both of these would make for extraordinarily expensive launches if we wanted to spend absurd sums to put the Saturn V design back into production and use it today.

You’d be 💯💪 correct. I knew Astronaut John Young.
