moon rocket
Apollo launch vehicle
A moon rocket is a launch vehicle designed to send spacecraft or astronauts to the moon.
The term evokes mid-20th-century space exploration, particularly the Apollo program's Saturn V: As a boy, he dreamed of building moon rockets.
It appears in nostalgic or aspirational contexts about space travel.
