At least the N1 was cool looking. :D

@monimstarfox Have you heard of Helium 3?theres a shit load on the moon,and its our clean nuclear energy for the future,for us to continue using energy as we do.Its worth and potential cannot be ignored because whoever controls the moon essentailly controls mans energy resources for millions of years.Hell the U.S could mine it-sell it to the russions to pay for a manned mission to mars.the moon has about 100 million tonnes of He3 @ $3 billion a tonne its worth going there->not a WPOC

To eliminate catastrophic failures the N1 engineers at that time should of went for the design much like the Saturn V. Instead of 30 rockets engines it just be 5 big engines.

Baikonur is a pretty long way from anywhere that would really be noticeable.

@Segasaturn95 yeah looks like a tower, but engines are too close to the outside

"...explodes with the force of a nuclear bomb."

"...the failure is a state secret for twenty years."

Erm, what?

@monimstarfox 50 years after the first explorers visited Antarctica, the nations of the world went back -- to stay, for science -- using steel ships, ice breakers, air support, radio and modular housing. We found Mars meteorites, the Ozone Hole, the world's climate history, etc. 50 years after Apollo, the nations of the world will go back to the Moon -- to stay, for science -- and will do great geology, astronomy, earth studies, etc. The only issue is whether the U.S will play any part...
