The first launch of the Saturn V rocket was in Nov of 1967. One year later, they sent men around the moon in one. Six months after that, they sent men to land on the moon in one.

We went from testing the most complex machine ever built to make sure it would work to landing human beings on the moon in a year and a half. It took only six and a half years to go from the entire theoretical system on paper to "one small step."
