Apollo 8 was the first crewed launch of a Saturn V rocket. While previous missions had used launch vehicles designed to reach low Earth orbit, the Saturn V was designed to enable missions to reach the Moon; to this day, the Saturn V remains the only launch vehicle to carry humans beyond low Earth orbit.
