Last rockets to the moon

Mike Stanford answers questions after his talk.

Dr. Michael Stanford enthused about the importance of the Saturn V rocket at the Monday Speaker Series event at the Lockheed Martin auditorium. Mike, who worked for the space program for several years, showed a video and explained why the giant rocket was such a technological marvel.  The booster that last took man to the moon was discontinued as the Apollo Space Program completed its successful mission of getting men to the moon and returning them safely to earth.  He lamented the Saturn V abandonment and explained that its lifting capability probably could have assembled a space station in as little as two flights.
