Yeah definitely slower to 17,000mph
The 5 F1 engines each had 2.5million pounds of thrust and there was
never an operational failure. A testament to guys in white

I you look at the video, he says the Saturn rocket was 0-42 mph in ten seconds.
I would suspect that the SL600 would be far quicker than that. Maybe even 0-100
mph, the SL600 would be quicker. From 100- 17,000 mph, I would guess the rocket
wins.
What a glorious time for science. I'm sad that it's gone.

No. Like a Saturn V.
Roman numeral for "five" or "5".
