I read that the stored energy in a fully fueled Saturn V was equivalent to 2 kilotons of TNT.  Similar to a tactical nuclear weapon, but they're releasing the energy over several minutes instead of several nanoseconds.  A moon rocket is a gentle apocalypse.  I'm strangely comforted knowing that this task was difficult for everyone who tried.
