Rocket scientists are a breed of their own. From Goddard to Von Braun all putting the science ahead of nationalism, and that's what these gentlemen did when they defied the Kremlin's order to destroy all their work. They should know better. I am impressed that they saved so many, worth millions of course, and kept them hidden so long in order to perfect them later down the line. I was also very impressed that the team stayed together. That they are willing to work with the U.S. in order to perfect their engine, that is amazing that we would help each other for the sake of science. They are comrades , not in arms , but in rockets!

Engines that run on lox and kerosene are much safer than those that run on Hydrazine, which is very aggressive on the components that it touches. I grew up in aerospace engineering. I have seen man failures and successes. I like the track record of the Russian engines. Very few problems. I believe that here in America, we sometimes over engineer and over complicate things. I see alot of over-engineering on a regular basis in my field. Im not saying that it is a result of Bad engineers.

Rocket engine chamber pressure is typically measured in bars (barometric pressure near sea level.) The Russian RD-180 was over 60 bar greater than the Space Shutle's engines. Russian engine technology laid the groundwork for the stunning engine advances of SpaceX, whose Raptor V3 rocket engine has achieved the highest chamber pressure of any rocket engine in history. Here they are compared: Space Shuttle's RD-25 engine, 206.4 bar Russian RD-180 engine, 266.8 bar Starship's Raptor 3 engine, 350 bar

[@markuskoivisto]

The shuttle main engine didn’t need high chamber pressure. The high chamber pressure matters most at sea level and less at vacuum; at sea level most of the thrust was provided by the solid rockets. The engine was optimized for vacuum.

[@narajuna]

funny, Thermosphere is a vacuum, yet now Moon also enjoys Earth's atmosphere.... love those rockets pushing on themselves :)

[@WizzRacing]

Issues is size.. The RD-180 had to be used in clusters of 30. Just to reach the same level of thrust that 5 Saturn V engines. Which is why America beat them. As 30 engines introduced 30 failure points. And that is with the Saturn V open cycle at 30% lose. And closed loop engines are notorious for failures.

Gratifying to see something really good that came out of the Cold War. It's been said that JFK himself was indifferent to space exploration but he championed the Apollo moon program for its political gain on the world stage. So, the Apollo program also owes its impetus to the competetive Cold War. As witnessed here, American and the Russian rocket engineers can join their respective strengths to achieve great results. Let's have more of this going into the future. Hopefully demagogues, dictators, and wannabe dictators won't ruin everything.

[@johnvrabec9747]

JFK actually decided that the US and USSR should pool its resources and create a joint moon venture. This was not publicly released, and was most likely only known by a close circle of people.

Got to love the hyperbole to oversell! Karloff was brilliant. No doubt! But using full test flights to design and refine Rockets was not a unique approach to anything. It was the old school engineer's way of desiging anything, regardless if they were Russian, American, British, French, German, etc, etc! Even when NASA first started, they were not entirely trying to build a Timex on a launch pad. It was western department bureaucracies that shifted design policies when government was forking the bill. Its less of a headache to test on smaller, individual scales, than having to go to newly elected idiots in congress and constantly re-explain why rockets keep blowing up. An aircraft crashing in a remote field is one thing. But when a Rocket goes Boom, constituents in a radius of 700 kilometers know about it...Not to mention the media always love to slam on something.

The blueprints for Apollo are not lost. What did happen was that the fabrication knowledge from some of the machinists, welders, etc was never written down in the first place, and with the rise of things like CNC some of the techniques of master machinists were simply lost. A blueprint tells you to weld two pieces of metal together. But it doesn't tell you the welding techniques needed to make welds that can survive the inside of a rocket engine.

[@richardsmith8590]

[@aleksandartomic5515]

I wander if Newton contribute, I wander If Aristotel contribute as well and whole hystory of science... All is available even more to Americans then to Russians, so I wander, why Americans not done better having Von Braun on their team? Awe naw! Certainly not! SMH

A tiny fraction of money wasted in Afghanistan would have meant we would still have a thriving Space Shuttle program. Penny wise pound foolish

A film proving the possibilities in cooperation adhering to Law. Possibilities available for everyone living in a society complying with the Law. The possibilities destroyed by one lunatic, President Putin.

[@nicolasrose3064]

Putin has deemed the future prosperity and very sanctity of millions of people's lives, to be subordinate to the interests of the Russian Federations reclamation of historical prestige, in accordance with his vicious prejudice and sadistic persecution, of not only the Ukrainian people, but all those who have chosen to embrace a progressive self determination, free from Russian oppression and control as prescribed by the dictates of his lunatic ambitions. For a man of his stature and station in life, with his responsibilities, to be talking about Nuclear oblivion like it won't affect him, is beyond diabolical arrogance, it is f-cking insanity.

[@MrRobertX70]

I agree.

[@drivetone605]

Putin is a symptom, not the disease. American leaders ruined what could have been, by continually dissing Russia and dangling the NATO carrot right up to their border.

[@colmcmillan173]

How little do you know about the real lunatics who destroyed this. Try something other than MSM.

[@Maadhawk]

Boy is this an outdated documentary. The historical elements may have aged alright, but the narratives and the dramatizations sure have not. SpaceX has given the lie to those.
