Soviets would have never made it to the moon. James Harford wrote in his 1990s book "Korolev" one of the engineers that worked with the Chief Designer of USSR space program said, "we could either enter the race to the moon or not. We did neither." In hindsight the Soviets didn't have the infrastructure to support such an ambitious program. Particularly the large cluster of engines of the N1 were never tested except on actual rockets, all four failed. Where Saturn V had only five engines on first stage but like all other systems were extensively ground tested. Then people ask why is it so hard to go back to the moon? I think Artemis does not have the infrastructure, also the SLS not appropriate design (it's based on Shuttle), in addition there is no compelling political reason to go to the moon. i.e. even the lunar rover VIPER was cancelled.

they were crazy enough to try. I have seen people from ex astronauts and people from NASA (i cant cite the videos or documentaries) that when they visited the Space Museum in Russia, they were amazed by how close the USSR was to the US. Of course it was all left to funding and after the Death of Korolev the program (as always in the USSR) became a political battleground

I watched much of this from my grandparents home on a B/W T.V. It is enjoyable to watch shows like this as they are much more detailed than my memory has from that time. The Soviet Union could never pull off a program like our first 3 because of their political system. Our American-German scientist were also far better than the Soviet's & the conditions that they were forced to work under. Thanks for uploading this. Shalom

When sherperd completed his suborbital lob a whole 16min duration gagarin had already orbited the earth this would not happen untill glen frendship7 made the first orbit around the earth by the usa it is true you have to want to get to the moon for such a endevour. But one must ask if the cccp didnt have the infrastructure hoe did they get probes to mars and venus?. It not exactly a trot to y I'm the local 711.😮

My stepfather, Chuck Meyer, was an aerospace engineer working for North American Aviation in the 1950s, and after it became North American Rockwell in the 1960s. He worked as part of a team subcontracting to NASA, and he worked on all Gemini Missions from 1963 to 1966, and all the Apollo Missions from 1967 to 1972, and Skylab in 1973. He won some awards for his contributions to America's Space Program, which I now own. I also worked for NASA as a contractor in the 1980s on the Space Shuttle Program, and a fiber optic cabling system installation at NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California, next to Moffett Field. I am very excited now by Elon Musk's SpaceX rockets programs and the NASA SLS.

Have similar documentaries been done for projects Mercury and Apollo?

@DownTheRabbitHoleYT 8 дней назад

Hey Nicholas. The owner got make to me and clarified that we have docs on Project Gemini and the various Apollo missions (8, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17). And while these docs may reference Mercury, they are not explicitly about it.

@nicholasmaude6906 8 дней назад

@@DownTheRabbitHoleYT It's a pity there's no such documentary then since project Mercury got the ball rolling for NASA's manned space-programme.

Most did not think there be any footsteps on Moon. Very short indeed, 5 years for Apollo. Never see a flattish earth horizon now :)

@Nunavuter1 18 дней назад

There were so many incremental steps in developing the technology and crew capability. The Soviet programme was slowly slipping behind on many of these aspects as time passed. Even if the N-1 had worked better than it did, the Soviets were going to be second to the Moon with a less ambitious mission profile.

@thewildcellist 13 дней назад

They still did some cool stuff, like Lunokhod (first remote controlled rovers on another celestial body) plus sample return missions.

Come I am sure they did LEO, Gemini did space.

It's funny how americans still believe that hollywood studios is the moon

@thewildcellist 15 дней назад

No one (American or otherwise) "believes" in Apollo. Just like people don't "believe" in salad tongs, dental floss, or parking lots. They _know_ those things are real. It's the same with Apollo, because it's _objectively_ proveable. Belief is for things like astrology, ghosts, or Bigfoot. Things that cannot be proven. Apollo is in a different category, because it can be proven - unequivocally.

@ray.shoesmith 15 дней назад

What are you trying to say? That the entire world, minus the USA, believes the moon landings were faked? I hope that's what you're saying. Because if it isn't, and you backtrack while you can still even pull out the 'it was a joke" even being

Karen Dingleberry even the "Soviet Union" when it was still the Soviet Union acknowledged that the USA had in fact landed on the moon. Along with "communist China" & other nations. None of which were friends then with the USA and now with the USA. Shalom ya Schmuck
