Of the 110.6-metre height of the entire Apollo/Saturn V stack, 42.1 metres comprise the S-IC first stage. Five F-1 engines, clustered at the bottom of the stage provide 33,800 kN [kilonewtons] [7,610,000 pounds] of thrust. The propellants used are RP-1 (Rocket Propellant one or highly refined kerosene) as the fuel and LOX [liquid oxygen] as the oxidizer.

Grants reduce the probability of poor countries experiencing debt distress. As we are seeing in the cases of Niger and Ethiopia, countries' debt levels remain at unsustainable levels, despite HIPC [Heavily Indebted Poor Countries] debt relief and additional "topping-up" assistance. Grants free up scarce public resources, which would otherwise have been used to pay off outstanding loan commitments. These resources can be used to fund the kind of productive investments ... such as infrastructure improvements and agricultural programs, which contribute to economic growth and poverty reduction. 2, record 2, English, - topping%2Dup%20debt%20relief
