Well, I got a bit silly a few days ago...
I wonderd just what it would be like to build...
CraftID: "Saturn V" Class Launch Vehicle, TL7, MCr 45.421809
Hull: (430/1075) Disp=477.5, Config=3AF, Armor=8B
Unload=198, Load=2901
Power: (1/1)*3 FuelCell=267Kw, Dur=15/45
Comm: Radio=Sys*18 (3 on each stage)
Loco1: Stage 1, (59/117) HP-Rocket=3479t
(1.2G @ Ignition/4.6G @ Burnout) Dur=127 sec
Loco2A: Stage 2, (2/3) Solid-Rocket=80t (.1G) Dur=8 sec
Loco2: Stage 2, (59/117) HP-Rocket=524t
(.8G ignition/3.1G) Dur=365 sec
Loco3A: Stage 3, (2/3) Solid-Rocket=80t (.6G) Dur=8 sec
Loco3: Stage 3, (2/4) HP-Rocket=108t
(.72G @ Ignition/2.69G @ Burnout) Dur=300 sec
Loco4: Service Mod, (1/1) HP-Rocket=93t
(3.22G W/Cargo/10.1G @ Burnout) Dur=10 min
Loco4A: Service Mod, (1/1) Solid-Rocket=3t*5 (.1G) Dur=6 sec each
Loco4B: Servce Mod, (1/1) Resisto-Jet=.01 (.006G)
(quad jets) (uses water from fuel cell)
Loco4C: Command Mod, (1/1) Solid-EscapeTower=67t (20G) Dur=6Sec
Sensors: RADAR=Dist, LADAR=Altimeter, PassIR, LightAmp, Radiation
ActObjScn=Form, ActObjPin=Form
Off/Def: -

Cargo=13.2KL,(2 tons) Subcraft=Lunar Lander, Lunar Rover,
Objsize=Avg, EMLevel=Strong(with engines firing)
Otherwise=Faint
Note: The solid rocket engines are engaged prior to the main
engines in order to settle the liquid fuel in the tanks. Also of
note, I took the actual performance and duration data for the
engines. According to Hard Times, she'd use considerably less fuel
and would never make orbit.
Performance: Take off size 8 World to size 2 moon and back.
104.4 tons to orbit, 43 tons to escape velocity (from Earth).

Yeah... I know, but I had fun designing it.
