Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island Florida inside the Apollo/Saturn V Center Command Module of Saturn V Apollo moon rocket. The Saturn V rocket was the largest operational launch vehicle ever produced. Standing 36 stories high and weighing over 6 million pounds and with a cluster of five F-1 engines, generating more than million pounds of thrust propelled the rocket to a speed of 6,000 mph and an altitude of 38 miles in just under 3 minutes. It was said at the time that, except for a nuclear explosion, the launching of the Saturn V rocket was the loudest man made noise ever produced. Just one F-1 engine provided as much thrust as all 3 Space Shuttle main engines combined.
