LK Lander

The LK (Lunniy Korabl - lunar craft) was a Soviet lunar lander and counterpart of the American Lunar Module (LM). The LK was to have landed a single Soviet citizen on the Moon before the Americans, winning the moon race. It completed development and was test flown successfully in Earth Orbit, but never reached the moon because the N1 rocket required to take it to the Moon was never successful.

A lander just for two cosmonauts, and instead of docking the cosmonauts need to do a spacewalk from the command ship to the lunar lander.

@echozgus The lander was for one lone cosmonaut but the plan was probably to have bigger landers later on. However, the mistake the Russians made was not developing massive new engines for the N-1 Rocket similar to Saturn rockets but using 32 small engines used in the Sputnik and Vostok Rockets. The N-1 blew up several times or the Russians would have won the race to the Moon. Developing the new engines was the idea of a Russian Scientist named Glushko. But he was overruled by Serigi Korolev.

I read that Alexei Leonov would have been the first man on the moon if they'd made it.

Hey buddy, I'm just curious, what's your problem with Russia? How is it related to YOU?

Your username appears in a lot of Russia-related videos, and you're always making weird, dyslexic, derogatory comments.

Judging by the videos you posted, you're either a loner immigrant that can barely speak any English, or you're actually mentally challenged (and I don't mean to offend you with this last one).

Also, cut your fucking nails, that's disgusting.
