The original Saturn design originated with a concept developed by Wernher von Braun in 1957. The rocket bore a striking resemblance of the German aggregate series A9-A12 (which were however never realized). He submitted a proposal to the United States Department of Defense, outlining a need to develop a heavy booster with thrust in the 1.5 million lbf (6.7 MN) range. Such a booster would be able to place a payload of 20,000 to 40,000 lb (10 to 20 t) in Earth orbit, or 6,000 to 12,000 lb (3 to 6 t) elsewhere in the Solar System. The two most important members of the Saturn family were the Saturn IB and the Saturn V. There were 12 launches of Saturn V, the Moon rocket that carried Apollo astronauts to the Moon.

It was an amazing sight to see this 30 storey tall rocket in the Kennedy Space Center's Saturn Center. They have the original Saturn Rocket that was manufactured but not used.
