	USATODAY.com - Restoration of aging rocket underway at Johnson Space Center (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		HOUSTON — The Saturn V rocket resting on its side in a park outside NASA's Johnson Space Center has fallen into disrepair in steamy Houston's heat and humidity, becoming home to mold, owls and mice.
		Saturn V, longer than a football field, was planted in "Rocket Park" near the space center's main entrance in 1977.
		The rocket is the only surviving Saturn V that contains all the needed stages for flight.

		It was only after the Saturn V had cleared the tower that they all realized their mistake.
		The Saturn V rocket was, and perhaps still is, the largest space vehicle ever built to be launched from earth.
		The rocket is perched on the top of a concrete pad (which is still used by shuttles to this day), and the heat was so intense it turned a good two inches of the solid-concrete flame trench into glass.

		While there are corrections to this figure for several reasons (see below), they are mostly at the few percent level for a large rocket like the Saturn V, so the final answer must be not too different from 11.2 km/s, but of course somewhat larger, to take account of the various inefficiencies discussed below.
		Here the large size of the Saturn V is a big help; let us guess +5% of the mission velocity.
		The Saturn V used five large Rocketdyne F1 engines, powered by liquid oxygen (LOX) and RP-1 (roughly kerosine) for the first stage, five Rocketdyne J2 liquid hydrogen (LH2) and LOX engines for the second stage, and a single J2 for the third stage.
