As a milestone in technology, the Saturn V was unique in the twentieth century; and as a human achievement, Apollo 11 was unique in the history of the planet. There was a strong hope that Apollo 11 would be the ®rst step in a concerted eort towards human exploration of spaceÐin particular, the planets.

Thus by the time of the Second World War, Russia and Germany were well ahead of other nations in rocketryÐGermany most of all. The amateur German rocket societies were noticed by the military, and they soon came under pressure to turn their talents to the military sphere. Von Braun was one of the enthusiastic engineers who took this step, joining the military research station at Peenemunde.

The lunar orbiter would be designed to journey between Earth and lunar orbit. This separation of roles is the key to simple and reliable design, and it contributed to the success of the Apollo programme.
