But yeah... the thing is BIG.
I must say, though, that after years of reading descriptions of the
Saturn V that were chock full of superlatives, when I finally saw the
hardware with my own eyes I was impressed not by how large it was but
by how *small*. That is, by the fact that something just a few times
the size of a large truck could go all the way to the Moon and back.
A better size comparison might be to a frigate or destroyer.
