N-1 Moon Rocket

February 21, 1969
N-1 3L launch
The first stage developed a fire in its aft compartment shortly after launch. The flight computer detected the fire and shut down the first stage 69 seconds after lift-off.

It was like something out of an alternite history. I have never seen this footage before, thanks.

You are wright, here is something from wikipedia:

The control system was primarily based on differential throttling of the engines, the outer ring for pitch and yaw, the inner six on gimballing mounts for roll ;

Block A produced 43 meganewtons (9,700,000 lbf)[1] of thrust. This exceeded the 33.7 meganewtons (7,600,000 lbf)[2] thrust of the Saturn V ;

Mas of N1-L3 2788 t, Saturn V 3039 t

@flybywire09

looks like u are an fucking brainless fat americunt faggot!  withOUT any kind of arguments!

I was just reading about this on space.com

interesting read.

@flybywire09: None.

@spacegeek5: And you think you know everything there is to learn a LEO, do you?

[puncheex]

@Jimbob8971: You know, you really ought to research these things before you open up. According to, for instance, aerospaceweb(.)org/question/hi­story/q0114.shtml , 24 US astronauts and 8 cosmonauts have died in service, four of them in T-38s. One was a passenger, one caught a goose.

[puncheex]

@flybywire09: The numbers are in the single digits, just as ours were before the shuttle. See en(.)wikipedia(.)org/wiki/Fall­en_Astronaut

[puncheex]

@Jimbob8971: No, the US barely knew about the N-1, and only from high altitude U-S photos. Hell, some Russian rocket doctors claim the N-1 was a fantasy, because it was top secret from start to finish. If we'd had anyone on the inside, they'd have been working the ICBM side of Baikonur, not the moon side.

@dajsinjo: Yeah, it had better thrust than the Saturn, but it's net weight/fuel weight ratio was higher, too; altogether it's payload to orbit was lower. In all honesty Korolev knew he wouldn't be able to do a moon mission with it. See astronautix(.)com/articles/why­nrace.htm .

@aSimulatedHigh not space stations thats the whole problem with our space program, they lower our capabilities to only LEO which is not good they should go to mars to solve this problem
