American Moon rocket and holds the record for highest payload capacity of any functional rocket ever built. The Soviet N1 was designed to compete with it.
Its payload to Low Earth Orbit was the unempty S-IVB (third) stage, the LM or Landing Module, and the Apollo CSM. The third stage would then restart to perform translunar injection.
The Saturn V, throughout its launches, has never failed and no crew have died from it. (On Apollo 13, the fault was with the Service Module and not the Saturn V.)

The Saturn V also cost over a billion dollars per launch though, so...
Not to be confused with the Saturn IB, which used the same S-IVB but as a second stage. The Saturn IB was never intended to land astronauts on the Moon.

Get the v-hoppermug. The phrase used to describe when you put mentos in soda and immediately stick the bottleneck into your partner's asshole, and watch as the soda erupts inside his asshole, and the fizz drips down his taint.
Person 1: Did you get the soda and mentos from the store?
Person 2: Yea we can do The Saturn V later.

Get the Bloody Vmug. Short for "Vape Douchebag." Someone who doesn't realize how annoying it is to constantly see them sucking on a vape pen, or see them post about their "vape life" on social media.

Get the V-Bagmug. Means Virgin and proud. They type of guys and girls who are virgins. They respect themselves and feel as if they should wait to have sex. They may not wait until marriage, but they at least wait until their 20s or until they found someone worth it. They feel as if sex is not a need in a relationship that you're just starting.
