At least artwleb knows something about it. There were NO cosmonauts on board this or any other N-1 rocket. The Soviets were not actually totally committed to the Moon. This was their only chance and Korolev knew it was a rush job. The N-1 was a failure: 4 out of 4 launches failed, mostly through explosions. The Soviets were not THAT committed to the Moon, in fact their budget was 1/10 of NASAs. For more detail read T.A. Heppenheimer's book "Countdown".
@Camerameister Good post, meister. what a bunch of morons. I do believe though that if an N1 had successfully reached orbit they would have rushed a manned mission. Probably sacrificing the cosmonauts despite the LES.
@dalek14mc where did you read this? The N-1 rocket was only ever tested unmanned. The Soviets didn't even try sending cosmonauts on a circumlunar flight with Zond, although they had in fact managed a successful unmanned circumlunar with the man-ready Soyuz 7K-L1 spacecraft.
@jimyjim36-First of all, I have to thank you for responding to a comment that I made 3 months ago. Secondly, I wasn't really sure, but he was wrong. Russia had several incidences where rockets killed people. I wasn't right about the N-1.
@dalek14mc Not surprising that the Challenger astronauts survived initially....the shuttle broke up and a huge fireball ensued. It was not an abrupt detonation/explosion but burning propellants we all see.
@dalek14mc I was speaking of "manned" rockets - not prelaunch that killed people. If you would like another death add Titan 1 prealunch 1960 when a man was killed by an external rocket that ignited. I will carefully write
my words in the future that no manned rocket after launch killed anyone except Challenger.
dude ur an ideot that wuz the russian space craft that held 2 astronauts they were trying to get to the moon b4 america but there rocket exploded hense when apollo 11 wuz about to lift off they left the medal honoring the 2 notice 2 rusian astronauts that dieds in the n1 accident and since it exploded after lift off no one else could of survived so thus there wuz only 2
Dear, oh dear, oh, dear...

Only one "rocket" killed people at launch and that was a Space Shuttle. No rockets shown in any video killed anyone.
Just FYI. Please no more RIP comments.

@artwleb-Actually, I do believe that this killed seven people. I could be wrong.
Just FYI, nasa has evidence that the astronauts survived the explosion but were killed when their capsule landed in the ocean.

I'm fascinated in knowing your source...

@artwleb-The Russian R-16 killed 78 people. Trying doing some research next time.

I believe what you saw in the at the end was the escape rocket and that they probably lived.....
