This "ugly..." and the Saturn V were the brainchildren of the same man, Werhner Von Braun. He was the technical advisor for this movie which was based on plans he drew up in 1953. Much of it was based on WWII era technology. Needless to say things changed a great deal by the early sixties.

"I had control of that vehicle right in the palm of my hands. If the guidance failed or started to stray or went somewhere we didn't like, or the Ground didn't like. I could flip a switch and I could control seven... over seven and a half million pounds of rocket thrust with this handle and fly the thing to the Moon myslef. And I guarantee you. I had practice it and trained for it so many times. I almost dared... I almost dared her to quit on me." (Gene Cernan: Apollo 10 & 17)
