One of my favorite bits of knowledge about Korolev is that, when Sakharov and some of his colleagues went to visit Korolev to explain why they couldnt make the warheads any lighter, Korolev just smiled and said something to the effect of "alright, I see. I'll get back to working on vetter missiles then." When asked why he seemed so happy about having to undertake more work, he led them to a globe standing on a counter and told the nuclear physisists and engineers about his dreams. He dreamed of mankind one day going to space, but he knew there was no way the Soviet government would fund such a program at the time. So, he said, he decided to do the closest thing possible, and design extremely long-range missiles. Because who knows, if he keeps having to make better rockets for bombs, someday he might be able to put a person in one, and send them to space.

@dfuher968 Год назад

Korolev is such an interesting person. Both a brilliant scientist and a tragic figure. And also the personification of the selfdestructive nature of the Soviet Union, as he died due to their shortsighted, unfounded and inhuman treatment of him, and with him died not just the lead in the Space Race, but the heart, the soul and the competence of the Soviet Space Program. The short history of the Soviet Union is filled with such mindboggling incompetence and shortsightedness, making them their own worst enemy. But noone personifies it more clearly than Korolev. I am always left wondering, how the Space Race and the further exploration of space would have evolved, had Korolev survived.

Okay, Sergei Korolev had nothing to do with the Nedelin disaster. The rocket designer in charge there was Mikhail Yangel, and he wasn't even at fault for the disaster. One first that wasn't mentioned was Luna 3, which gave us our first view of the far side of the moon. Next, Gagarin was not launched in a Soyuz, since that was only created after Korolev's death. Also, the first woman in space and first spacewalk happened while Korolev was still alive, not after he died. Just some little things...

@adimifus 4 года назад

Yuri Gagarin's flight was in a Vostok capsule. Vostok capsules were launched by Vostok rockets. Additionally, Voskhod capsules were launched by Voskhod rockets, and Soyuz capsules are launched by Soyuz rockets. It's pretty easy to remember 😉 They're all variants of the R-7, but a Soyuz variant never launched a Vostok.

Baikonur was also chosen as it is one of the most Southern points of the Soviet Union. The closer one launches a rocket to the Equator the more "free load" you can carry into orbit. Hence the Baikonur's location us a geographic requirement.

@AtliTobiasson 2 года назад

Hence, NASA's launch sites also have their geographic locations

@QAMan23 4 года назад

When I worked for Lockheed Martin Missiles & Space back in the late 90's, we used Baikonur to launch communications satellites all the time. There were only 4 good places on earth to launch from (Kazakhstan, Florida, French Guiana, and one other that was much less popular. The ESA would often launch from the French Guiana location). We did follow a few rituals borrowed from the crew at Baikonur and they seemed to bring us luck. I never saw a launch failure, though I do know of one that delayed everyone's schedule for at least a month. it happened on a pretty old launch pad that had never had a failure and was considered very lucky. Baikonur was like visiting a military camp. A very poor military camp as accommodations were spartan to put it mildly, but they got the job done and did it very well.

That's a shame Kovalev died, not just for what he had to go through but also for how much more he could have done in general, it's also a shame he wasn't there to witness the first humans on the moon and the images we would get of the Moon and Earth in the process.
