Yes, it is quite impressive...but no, it's not Apollo 18, at least not all
of it. I'd originally thought that it was a later mission that had been
cancelled. As it turns out, however, the Saturn V on display at JSC is made
up of the first stage of what would have been Apollo 18, the second stage of
what would have been Apollo 19, and the third stage of the rocket that was
removed and replaced with Skylab 1. See

wanted to know on the subject.
