The largest Rocket ever built is called the Saturn V rocket and was used to send man to the moon from 1969 to 1972. Built by German engineer Whener Von Braun, the rocket measures 110,6 meters tall. Incomparison to the space shuttle, the shuttle with its external tank and solid rocket boosters attached measure only 56 meters tall. However NASA does have plans to create a new rocket, the Ares V which may be a couple of meters taller then the Saturn V rocket. The rocket is still in the conceptual stage, but may be used as a heavy weight launch vehicle in the near future.
