It remains the tallest, heaviest, and most powerful rocket ever brought to operational status and still holds the record for heaviest payload launched. To date, the Saturn V is the only launch vehicle to transport human beings beyond low Earth orbit. A total of 24 astronauts were launched to the Moon, three of them twice, in the four years spanning December 1968 through December 1972.
