The configuration starting from the bottom is:
First stage: the S1C (138 feet tall), Second Stage: S-II (81.5) feet tall, and the Third Stage: S-IV-B (58.5 feet tall). Then there is the payload consisting of the the LEM (Descent and Ascent Modules), The Instrument Module (the Ring), the Service Module
and lastly the Command Module (which stayed in orbit around the Moon).
Did you know that NASA was planning high energy missions after Apollo with the Saturn V? A high energy mission was one in which the Saturn V would be used for planetary and deep space missions. A cheaper way was found in the launch of the "Voyager" spacecraft.
Sadly, the Saturn V was never used again.
