I got to go to see one of the only Saturn V rockets in Houston. The scale is unbelievable. That much rocket to get 3 people to the moon is just mind-numbing.
Equally mind numbing is that for decades it was literally just sitting outside. They have built a structure around it to protect it, but I remember seeing it as a kid just out in the elements.
