Soviet N1 Moon Rocket Documentary

I'm a bit disappointed, the documentary was really about the NK-33, but the title says it's an N1 documentary. I came here for the N1 and there was nothing new to learn here.

I think after the RD180, now only the SpaceX Raptor2 has the finest efficiency.

The Russians had us beat back then, their rocket technology was the best in the world!!

The Americans also had many rocket explosions, which led to improvement and increased reliability. It wasn’t unique to Korolev and his team.

Mishin couldn’t handle the pressure after Korolev died, and he became an angry, ineffective alcoholic.

Wonderful and fascinating. Thank you for uploading.

bs... it is now general believe that us missions to moon was fake...
and nasa behavior does little to dispel those dounts...
I am undecided but some undisputed evidence points out towards the fake as a possibility...
and btw us go ef yourself !!!

The Soviets were able to get all of the easy "low hanging fruit" accomplishments with their program, but the program could not be scaled up to do the Moon. Having one man run everything can't work. The infighting just slowed them down and cost them.

> The historical point to all this is that advanced technologies (like the 1944 NAZI HORTON 229 flying wing) may not come to fruition until decades later.

this is second video I watched about this rocket

If Korolev didn't die so suddenly perhaps mankind would have put a man on Mars by now given all this antagonism...

Typisch Sowjets; haben eine gute Technologie, und verbraten sie in ihrer Schublade. 20 Jahre lang.

Well, in the end they didn’t work ,all these wonderous Soviet boosters exploded before clearing the tower..they couldn’t even reach a sub orbital altitude..This video is a joke ..Russian superiority..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Superb documentary. Many thanks.

Leftards should see this so they can maybe attempt to understand that collaboration with Russia has been going on for decades and that stupid political garbage they get fed is meant to be divisive, not saying we are great allies or anything but it’s possible to work together and build on it, instead of making sure everyone hates everyone because they just do, it’s stupid and counterproductive.

N1 used 30 engines. SpaceX uses 33. Evolution.

I don't think man ever made it to the moon.good Hollywood movies to watch though.

Meh.. I guess.

Ɛlies has the same problem with Starship. It uses the same engine configuration as the N-1: lots of little engines instead of a few large ones. His engines are open cycle however, not as efficient as the little N-1 closed cycle engines.

Valentin Anisimov... The Kuznetsov Design Bureau cannot design oil fired boilers and superheaters for large vessels... They do tho. The power plants fail.

Don't you just love of American arrogance?

None of it matters. We won, they lost. Thats the end of the story.

This is a fascinating and eye opening presentation. One of the best I’ve seen in a very long time!

dude died from an appendectomy :(

This just illustrates the corruption and the depravity of NASA. This was in 2000. What happened to the successes of the 1960's? What happened to the leadership of the Space Program? Why is Communist rocketry much better? And yet, it's getting worse. Now, there's the Starliner stuck to the ISS. It's time to defund NASA. Give the money to Elon Musk and SpaceX.

did they mention the first N1 killed more people than if say 30 apollo crews died trying to get to the moon? - "THE FIRST TEST flight of the Soviet Union's giant N1 Moon booster ended in an explosion at T+70s on 21 February, 1969, killing 91 people on the ground near the Baikonur Cosmodrome, it has been revealed on Russian television."

“Along came a devastating blow. Putin invaded Ukraine and pulled the plug on selling rocket engine technology to the US.” Politics aside, 15% better efficiency can’t beat the efficiency of reusable engines. I’m not a fan of Musk, but his track record is stomping everyone.

From 11 years ago...how am i just now seeing this.
Very good!!!!

Without needless war and more understanding we could have been a lot further on in mankinds solving of issues. Different cultures approach things in more ingenious ways. It makes me sad.

Can you say "pogo oscillation "?

I’m always surprised the Soviets didn’t do Earth Orbit Rendezvous. Assemble a moon ship in orbit.

Excellent video

Really happy the Russian old men got to see their rocket engines back in action
Let’s be real I’m sure those old timers were not doing so well financially before after the Soviet Union collapsed
So I’m glad they got to sell some engines🤑🤑🤑 and get to go back to work doing what they love best 🚀🚀🚀🚀
Those are the type of Russians I like 😂👍 honest hard-working don’t care about politics. Let’s just get this done type of people.👍

In my humble opionion if Korolev had lived another 2 years this launch system would have been sorted out and possibly rivaled the Saturn. Lost to history and their turbo pump booster design is still in use today.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥃

By this time America had already given up on Rocket technology because they had flying saucers that they were reverse engineering.. they kept up the rocket program just for show people not in the know of it all

How does French rocket engineering compare 😂 you know the one that has largest and most successful satellite launch capability, and is totally independent of American influence 🤔 😉

Soviet Rocket Scientist: "Excellent comrades! We have designed a better rocket engine than those capitalist pigs. Now if we could only figure out how those evil Americans are managing to keep store shelves stocked with basic goods...."

The idea behind the N1 was sound, unfortunately the implementation wasn’t.

The N1 never reached orbit let alone the moon.

It took until Elon Must establishment of Space X to actually get the idea of large engine number booster rockets to work.

Better design and forward thinking plus incremental development has also ensured that the idea now works.

Had President Kennedy lived, we would have ended the Cold War, the US and Russia would jointly have landed people on Mars.

ummm, the n-1 was a perfect 4-4 of fairlures. russian propaganda video much?

Absolutely not what the title says. Almost nothing to do with the N1 except for the NK15 of NK 33 , the original title was "engines from the cold" or smthg like that, and it talks about old N1 motors which hadn't flown and had been retrieved by Americans for a small amount of money and then the testing of them.
Clickbait. Not good!

Elon musk can learn something From Russians

Staged combustion engines require either fuel rich or oxidizer rich combustion in the pre-burner. If petroleum based fuel rich combustion is chosen coking, i.e. soot formation, becomes a problem. If oxidizer rich combustion is chosen severe oxidation of the pre-burner components becomes a problem. The Russians solved the later problem with special metal alloys that resist oxidation. We solved the former by using liquid hydrogen as a fuel that does not coke, it only produces steam as a combustion product.

Amazing documentary!! Most fascinating!!!!l.

It is all a hoax the space travel included moonlandings
