@Knutern9 Why do you say like that? Norwegian.

That looks and sounds a lot different from most rocket launches I've seen, which have massive plumes of smoke coming out the back, and a hell of a lot of noise.

@rocketmentor From N-1 is not so simple. While in the Soviet Union competed two space agencies (not even the agency, and engineer) for more funding. The government chose to create new types of reliable medium-range missiles to create a "Union" (Союз) for earth stations, than funding after a hard rocket to fly to the moon (then the Soviet Union believed that the flight to the moon - a project unpromising)

@andrewyaoauatauabaea The whole complex Baikonur - The Russian territory, Russia leased the land until 2050. Or do you think that the collapse of the USSR rocket building and puts Kazakhstan? :D

Both US and Russian rockets have their strengths and weaknesses though I believe the US has or had the edge with a 100% successful Saturn-5 moon rocket with the Russian N-1 100% failure. This has all changed with Obama's destruction of the US Space program along with the rest of America,a terrorist sleeper cell in the White House.

@DaHappyGang Newtons 3rd law of action/reaction. Tons of hot gas per second are expelled from the rocket engine pushing the rocket forward as the gases go rearward. The rocket "pushes" against its self and its own exhaust and why they work even better in space, no air to interfere with the exhaust. Same as a bullet causes a gun to recoil or garden hose to learch.

@rocketmentor thanks for the info.

Yes liquid fuel,you can see an oxidizer leak during the launch,those red-brown vapors are N2O4, nitrogen tetroxide.Fuel is a hydrazine mixture. Same as the Titan rocket. Long live liquids.Solids have destroyed more hardware and caused the only deaths.

very silent.
@Acidrobosapiens
USSR didn't "collapse" and USA has nothing to do with it.
Many leaders and many people realized that system is not working. Change came for the communist party itself and M. Gorbachov.
It's disgraceful and that USA is trying to take a credit for it and even creating movies, like it "caused some kind of collapse" and making itself proud of it. Poor Americans trying to find reasons to be proud of something... So childish...
Jeee...
