What war rocket was developed into the Saturn V moon-launcher?
The Saturn V contains 5 rocket engines, each of which had a diameter of 33 feet (if I recall Apollo 13 correctly). So at it’s widest point, the rocket would have to be over 100 feet in diameter, creating 7.5 million pounds of thrust–enough to put the spacecraft into orbit along with the next set of engines which would push it off to the moon.
