As I've grown older, I have come to appreciate the Soviet's technology and science initiatives. Your average Russian wasn't an evil person because of Communism; in fact, I think the Russians suffered just as much anyone under the cruel fist of people like Stalin.

You just make a helicopter that is inferior at both roles. The Soviets always built things bigger, probably just out of spite. Sometimes this bigness was more a detriment than advantage. The iconoscope was developed by RCA.

bombarderoazul Says:

Nov 26, 2010 - All I said is that the N1 is one of the most powerful ever, not the most powerful, read my comment.

bombarderoazul Says:

Nov 1, 2010 - of the three most powerful rockets ever created two are russian. The N1 which could put 75 tons into orbit and Energya which could place 100 tons. Saturn V however had the ability to put  109 tons into space.

May 27, 2010 - damn that massive, the exhaust is twice its size, and its as tall as the Saturn.

Mar 31, 2010 - I thought about that, but the avionics/computers behind the Falcon 9 are light-years ahead of what was available to both the USA and USSR at the time. There is something to be said for redundancy. Another thing is, all the engines are clustered at the center, not at the perimeter, so if one engine fails in the Falcon the stability issues are not as severe as on the N-1, which required a shutdown of a corresponding opposite engine.

Mar 24, 2010 - The same thing could happen to Falcon 9. The sovs proved that putting large numbers of engines in the 1st stage does not work.

Sep 11, 2009 - Для простой высадки(типа амерской) можно было обойтись Протоном и Р-7, а Н-1 нужна была для доставки Лунной базы, или 6 тонн груза на Луну!

Sep 2, 2009 - That was a interesting part of the design. More power in the first stage with all those engine clusters but unable to get as much payload into orbit and on the way to the Moon as a Saturn V due to sticking with kerosene for all stages.

Sep 2, 2009 - Mutually Assured Destruction. Good thing your hot headed self isn't in charge of anything.

bc1969214 Says:

Sep 2, 2009 - You say it was superior because it was unmanned and flew 7 years after the shuttle. It's now playground equipment, isn't it?

bc1969214 Says:

Sep 2, 2009 - I don't know how cautious. They did the all up testing to launch the Saturn V.

SergeiPilipenko Says:

Aug 25, 2009 - It is remarkable that exactly these engines for the N1 rocket have being purchased by the U.S. after the crash of the Shuttle program. Russia has already sold over 100 these unique and very reliable engines which are 35 years old! Closure of the N1 program was a stupid, ideological mistake of the Russian government.
