Absolutely- for all the belief that the space shuttle was or is the newer, 'better' thing, no successful rocket has ever produced the sheer power of a Saturn V with those five F1 Rocketdyne engines. And yep, they are truly impressive. I walked under one (Apollo 14 maybe?) as a kid before it was used :-) They would launch a 6 million pound rocket using 7 1/2 million pounds of thrust. The Soviets did produce a rocket theoretically capable of 14 million pounds of thrust, and it did do so but only until they failed; always in spectacular fashion and none ever reached orbit or even close to it. So the Saturn V remains alone in both thrust production (regardless of what you may have seen on the Internet: Easy Boys!) and mass lifted.
I also remember being quite impressed with the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) and the crawler that moved a complete Saturn V from the VAB to launchpad 39 as well. All huge, powerful and very sophisticated stuff.
That whole era has proven to be a left- handed disappointment to me in many ways; in the late '60's it seemed we (humans) were on the brink of doing almost anything and we on the edge of many truly amazing points of progress. For example, I remember really thinking that we would have cured cancer w/in the next decade or two, be making all kinds of electro- mechanical things to replace limbs, eyes, etc., etc. The Apollo program was an extreme reach for the technology but unfortunately I do not think that most people, and I know I did not, understand that it was really the very edge of our abilities, took an extreme, coordinated effort focused on that one thing and really only barely worked instead of being something we 'conquered'. Don't get me wrong- it was a great program and experience, I just think it left a lot of us with the delusion that we were actually more advanced and technically able then we really were, and even remain today.
On the way back from the lovely beaches of Destin, FL we stopped at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center campground in Huntsville, AL for two nights. The campground is right next to the museum and we wanted to tour it.

We did and WOW, That place is awesome!!! Standing next to the Saturn V was incredible. Holy **** that thing is HUGE.
We did the planetarium tour as well. Most excellent and their 8k projector was gorgeous.
