actually, may i suggeset
http://www.astronautix.com/lvfam/saturnv.htm
there actually was a design for a "Saturn IV" (really called a Saturn C4,
the contemporary Saturn C5 became the Saturn V, and development of the C4
was dropped) see
http://www.astronautix.com/lvfam/saturnc.htm)
this is awfully off topic, but here is a web page i've been working on
sporadically now for a couple of months that rocketheads may find
interesting:

I would suggest that if Tom wanted to use the rocket analogy, he might want
to compare PostgreSQL to maybe a contemporary Atlas 5 medium configuration.
the Titan II is quite old now and there's only one more launch scheduled.
cheers,
