One More on its way. We watched this <edited> Atlas V launch from Cocoa Beach on Feb 24th carrying a new military satellite

That was an Atlas V.

Saturn V was what they used to launch Apollo missions and the first space station.

Imagine all that junk floating around in orbit. Not sure a space walk would be a good idea anymore.
