Two or possibly three Saturn V's would have been required to put this vehicle into orbit, and some on-orbit assembly would be required. Several mission profiles were considered – the one developed in greatest detail was for a Mars mission. Eight astronauts, with around 100 tons of equipment and supplies, could have made a round trip to Mars in 125 days (most plans call for one-way times of at least nine months). Another impressive figure is that as much as 45% of the gross vehicle in Earth orbit could have been payload.
