they did an excellant job at failing, they did alot of things first half ass, why america caught up, won the cold war, and the whole time our population had freedom, microwaves, food, toilet paper. just saying.

That’s just a consequence of the testing method they used. NASA spent years running individual Saturn V stages on huge test stands. The USSR decided to not build such a huge test stand and instead test those stages by flying them. They fully expected having to do up to 14 test launches. They used the same method for the development of other rockets too: the Proton, for instance.

Russia 🇷🇺 is a terrorist nation we Americans would never become friends much less allies.

NASA spent years running individual Saturn V stages on huge test stands. The USSR decided to not build such a huge test stand and instead test those stages by flying them, to save time and money. They expected having to do up to 14 test launches. SpaceX is now doing something very similar with Starship.

Nonsense.

I'm glad they saved the engine for fellow engineers to see and understand

Me too.

NASA is sending astronauts to the moon in 4 months aboard SLS

The successes of the 1960s were done in the context of the Space Race. NASA had a huge budget to beat the Russians. After Apollo 11, that budget was reduced by 90%. Then they developed the next-generation launch vehicle, the Shuttle. Political pressure was applied to make this the only launch system in US inventory, which meant the US launch industry stagnated. Then the USSR collapsed, and Russia suddenly had lots of rocket designers out of a job. The US decided it was better to pay those Russians to build engines for American launch vehicles, than to leave them on the market, free to start working for regimes hostile to the USA.

You won what exactly? Everything before moon landing was US loss, and you just declared that moon was only thing that matters

Starship's engines work and it has got into space, unlike the N1 and SpaceX's Raptor engine is a full flow staged combustion engine, a better type of closed cycle engine than the oxygen rich closed cycle used on the NK-33. The Raptor is also more powerful and more efficient.

With 50 years of advance in computer-aided design, it’s become feasible to work out the bugs in an installation with 30+ engines before the first one is built.

And your proof is?

@@TheWokeFlatEarthTruth you heard of cosmic radiation?u would need to be surrounded by 3 feet of water just to be alright.plus the rockets we had back then was not that reliable.

​@@CameronBlair-k8zthat's just not true. They had ways to save the film even back then. We went to the moon several times stop being stupid.

@@CameronBlair-k8z In reality, the radiation level in space is far lower than that.

The Soviets failed to develop a digital control system for N1.

Once the engine was fired it could not be fired again.

The NK-15 used pyrotechnics to open some of its valves. This meant that after running the engine, it would have to be disassembled before it could be reused. That reduced the value of the test: the assembly process and the new components were untested. The NK-33 solved this by replacing the pyrotechnics with hydraulic or pneumatic valves, which meant each engine could be tested before installation.

The Russian people are fine. Their government is shite. Stop being such a leftist hating obsessive

All those crying laughing emojis show your insecurity dumbass

But the reason he died was Soviet healthcare.

Same outcome. Just replace with another Russian bully who runs the entire show. And same suspicion and NO collaboration with the Free World.

🤡🤡🤡

No all of the evidence shows that a fake is an impossibility.

Do you really think people are Morons?

@@spooky3669 Why do you say that? Loads of early American rockets exploded. You might want to watch The Right Stuff: it has plenty of genuine recordings of American rocket explosions.

@@Dragonblaster1 Exactly my point!

Sorry, it’s sometimes hard to ascertain snarkiness from plain text. I tend to go way over the top with highly stylised language to get snarky points across.
