They rocket they used 55 years ago to get men on the moon was 363ft tall. The did multiple orbits and recovered the control module 8 miles from midway in their first test flight.

3rd flight of Saturn put men in space. The 5th one put men orbiting the moon. 6th one put men on the moon, just a year and half after the first test flight. Absolutely wild even by 2023 standards.
