As of 2024 , the Saturn V remains the only launch vehicle to carry people outside of Low Earth Orbit .
The rocket's first stage consisted almost entirely of propellant made from RP-1 fuel and liquid oxygen working as the oxidizer.
The second stage weighed 1.06 million pounds and was responsible for accelerating the rocket through the upper atmosphere.
As each stage burned through its fuel, the next stage took over, igniting its engines to continue the journey.
Part of Apollo 11's third stage crashed into the Moon , but the part to detach before that didn't completely fall into the planet and break up in the atmosphere.
Some pieces were recovered, while others orbited the Sun for decades before returning to Earth 's gravitational pull.
The Saturn V rocket boasted 11 J-2 engines, all of which held specific functions in achieving initial flight, orbital insertion, and travel to the Moon.
