A model of this 111-meters high carrier-rocket was made by the Zagreb flying-model constructor Dimitrije Barb to the scale of 1:20. The mass of the rocket that carries the spaceship Apollo on its top is 2,800 tons, while only about 5.5 tons return to Earth (including, of course, that which is most important - the crew). The rocket took the first human crew to the Moon. (Neil Armstrong was the first human ever to set foot on the Moon, on 21 July, 1969).
