Saw a special on the mission last night. They said it was the fastest rocket ever launched to outer space. It took only 9 hours to reach the moon's orbit.

"Burn, baby, BURN!"

Humans couldn't survive the continued acceleration. Most amazing.

 

[GregW]

If I recall, the moon missions took three days to get there.
