I'm watching some show about the Apollo missions, and they were talking about the Saturn V rocket. Apparently it reached supersonic speeds within one minute of liftoff, and got up to Mach 7 as it rose. That's pretty impressive. One of the astronauts said that it's still the most powerful vehicle ever built.
One of the astronauts on board said that he was in the seat waiting to take off, and the seats were arranged so that he was looking up toward the sky. He said there were a couple of seagulls flying overhead, and he always wondered what happened to them. Ah. It's Apollo 8. Lovell, Borman, and Anders. I think that's a really underrated mission, because they were the first guys to go around the moon.
