The Saturn V was nicknamed "The Moon Rocket."
In 50 years of Rockets and Spacecraft , the Saturn V is described:

"Perhaps the greatest engineering challenge in American history was the development of the mammoth Saturn V launch vehicle. Of all American research and development projects, only the Manhattan Project to develop the world's first atomic weapon came close in terms of complexity, expense, and time required."
