As the article states, the H-1 engines were used in the earlier Saturn I rocket, not the Saturn V. Eight H-1s were used in the Saturn I’s first stage.

Disappointed at the lack of feed from Kimi, so we could hear what he’s mumbling while driving.
Isn’t that where we all first learned about it?
No, most Alphard buyers (and this is from knowing actual Alphard owners) use it as they would an S-Class - being driven too and from the office, maybe with an assistant with them in the back, and an armed bodyguard sitting shotgun.
People (read Americans) complain about the looks, but the Alphard looks absolutely anonymous compared to tuner vans in Japan.
Nobody here cross shops an Alphard against something as pedestrian as a Pacifica though. Rather, it’s something you cross shop against an S-Class.
Compared to their traditional competition, that is S-classes and 7-serieses, the Alphard has a lot of space.
The average Alphard buyer doesn’t care about visibility because the average Alphard buyer pays someone else to drive it for them.
Probably the other way around.
That’s the thing, most Alphard buyers don’t cross shop it against the Odyssey. Most are cross shopping it against an S-Class.
Except that if you roll up to the Hotel de Paris in an Espace, and you get laughed out by the help. You roll up in an Alphard, and anyone who laughs is immediately pulled aside by security and given a stern reminder that you just bought the hotel.
The V-Class exists in the US as the Metris, and it’s let down by the fact that it’s still a box van underneath. No amount of tarting up can hide this fact. Same deal with the Traveller.
For a certain generation, “Escudo” will always bring with it images of Monster Tajima’s Pike’s Peak car.
Someone’s been looking at World Time Attack Cars.
Because no one would notice that it was a new, in development, car if they didn’t camo it.
I assume those aren’t there because other Saharan nations are hoarding them.

Absolute unit.
Now watch as barely anyone uses it outside of specific events because everything you need isn’t in it. Same thing already happened to the Gathering Hub in Monster Hunter World where people only use it when Kulve Taroth is in town, or it’s a seasonal event.
