Two very different space vehicles. The Saturn V rocket was used to send man to the Moon, where as the space shuttle is used to sent humans into Earth orbit.

How is the space shuttle different from the Saturn 5 rocket?
The space shuttle is a reusable vehicle. With the Saturn V and other rockets, the stages are just fuel containers, and only a small part of the entire rocket (the crew module) ever came back to Earth, and even that couldn't be used again. The shuttle has the orbiter's engines with a single-use fuel tank and two recoverable solid-fuel boosters. The orbiter returns and lands on Earth, and the solid-fuel boosters are recovered from the ocean and refilled.
When was the last space shuttle landing?

How do the Saturn 5 rockets and the space shuttle compare?
The Saturn V rocket, used during the Apollo missions, was a powerful launch vehicle designed for deep space missions, capable of carrying heavy payloads to the Moon. In contrast, the Space Shuttle was a reusable spacecraft designed for low Earth orbit, capable of carrying astronauts and cargo, while also returning to Earth for multiple flights. The Saturn V's focus was on single-use, high-thrust launches, whereas the Space Shuttle emphasized versatility, reusability, and the ability to deploy satellites and conduct scientific missions. Overall, both were pivotal in advancing space exploration but served different roles and missions.
