WILDGEESE
Gone Fishin'
WILDGEESE, what do you mean with SATURN V's ( with solid fuel propulsion) ?
because the Saturn V is liquid propellant rocket with Kerosine Hydrogene and oxygen in it's tanks
or do you mean the early Solid Saturn proposed begin 1960 ?
that's a cluster of huge solid rockets motors from yet to build ICBM.
NASA had it doubt it's feasible to build some thing
1962 JLP proposal (aka The Ugliest Rocket EVAR)

I went with solid fuel because it would allow (like all modern ICBM's to launch on warning), liquid fuels would take ages to fuel up allowing the missiles to be hit in their silos.
