Man, I have to say, people in the 60's/70's were f'kin crazy. The level of technological advancement they brought in those two decades was off the charts. And all that with basic instruments. Computers were a joke then but it's marvelous to see what the human mind can achieve without much help from machines when truly focused. I hope we don't forget what we're capable of once we reach AI supremacy

it seems pretty certain we will, just as noone knows how to start a fire in the woods, or how to navigate by the stars (or anything other than a smartphone for that matter), or any of the other myriad skills that we have lost as technology has taken them over. AI is the ultimate usurpation, it will eventually take over most people's thinking. Maybe 99% will live there lives like internet vegetables, just stimulated by some virtual worlds that AI conjures up to entertain them.

As someone who grew up in a family who all worked at NASA, I always wanted the N1 to be successful. I wish they would have been given the time to make the N-1 reliable. But the truth is, the N-1 was a complicated machine. I’m not sure they could have solved the plumbing, and I don’t know if they had the ground computing resources for difficult missions. Who knows. Cool rocket though. That said, no engine gimbaling, (differential thrust at that time had to be a major obstacle), no engine testing, constructing the rocket first then transporting it, the N-1 had a lot going against it. Ultimately the NASA method of testing and redundancy won out in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Imo, the Saturn V is still the coolest rocket ever made. I would have loved to ride that beast.

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with a lot of engines in a single sentence. In fact such an approach makes it easier to maintain the vehicle. You run into problems when your engines suck and literally can't be tested before being used, and your vector is controlled by thrust differential rather than gimbaling. But mainly if the engines suck and can't be tested. That doomed all four N1 flights.

The Soviets could never have landed an cosmonaut on the Moon because they did not have the instantaneous computing capability that the Apollo had aboard. By the time a radar signal left a descending capsule at the Moon's surface, reached a fast computer in the USSR, solved the orbital equations and returned an answer to the Soviet capsule, the velocity and position of the capsule would be completely different. Landing would be only a matter of luck.

@@surfspark probably not. They started with schema, to shut down engine, that opposite to failing engine. Thus still had an issue. The biggest problem was that USSR could allocate at most 1/10th or money, USA had distributed for pure propaganda Apollo mission. Russians simply did not wanted to pay for machined fuel/oxygen tanks of Saturn-V. Or for 1000 trial runs of Rocket engine. Cost of Saturn/Apollo gears was insane for the time being.

All because of Valentin Glushko, who (although he was the most outstanding Soviet rocket engine expert) turned out to be an informer and, when the secret police interrogated him, denounced the future head of the space program, his friend Korolyev, who was sentenced to 10 years in a hard labor camp for this reason. Korolyev, as the chief designer of the N-1, could not, for reasons of honor, entrust the construction of the main engines of the N-1 first stage to this snitch. The engines were designed by Kuznetsov - an outstanding specialist, but in jet engines, not rocket ones... The American Saturn V had 5 engines in the first stage, Kuznetsov could not create such gigantic engines - that's why the first stage of the N-1 had 30 (!) of them. Thirty - which means at least 6 times more chance of failure. And that was the nail in the coffin of the Soviet lunar program. In none of the N-1 flights did the first stage with 30 engines operated properly. The primary cause of this huge (as a whole program) disaster was Glushko's lack of moral backbone and weakness of character. A typical representative of the Soviet elite of the nation.

@rays2506 Ай бұрын

The N-1 used a flame trench design with three chutes. Interesting. The N-1 was Korolev's biggest blunder. He tried to upstage von Braun's series stage Saturn V by building the series stage N-1, but with inferior engine technology. Korolev had a perfectly fine parallel stage launch vehicle in the R-7 and its upgraded version, the Soyuz launch vehicle. He could have developed an enlarged version of the Soyuz using the engines built for the N-1 with enough payload capability to put two cosmonauts on the lunar surface in 1968 or 1969.

Что это Царь-ракета (по аналогии с Царь-пушкой и Царь-колоколом). Это апофеоз советской монструозности в ущерб здравому смыслу и тонкому мышлению. Большевистский молот, закономерно выродившийся в кувалду имени пригожина. Можно конечно говорить, что эта конструкция "опередила время", ну так не надо время опережать-то. Время ухватится сзади и оставит без штанов...
