The Saturn V launch platforms were responsible for getting Apollo program NASA astronauts to orbit for their lunar trips. This multi-stage liquid fueled rocket was launched from 1967 to 1973. It had three stages, and each depended on the lower stage to gain altitude and speed. By the time it was said and done, the third stage burned to orbital insertion, which had a speed of some 17,500 miles per hour or so (ball park). Also note that after a burn of 2 to 3 minutes to attain this (the orbital insertion), the rocket's third stage was burned for another 6 or so minutes later on to fling the Apollo craft out of earth orbit to the moon. At the end of the burn, the speed on the Apollo lunar vehicle would be something on the order of 23,000 to 24,000 miles per hour. The particulars on the Saturn V can be had by reviewing the Wikipedia article, and a link is provided.
