The soviet government approved the N1 program within months of the first test article S-IC starting testing at Stennis. I'm glad to hear a "space cadet" acknowledging the realities of the engineering challenges of moving a program that quickly. The Soviets repeated the same crash program mistake with the Polyus station, though perhaps its for the best that Polyus ended up at the bottom of the Pacific. When given the time and funding, the red engineers could put up a performance comparable to their NASA counterparts as evidenced by Energia and Buran.
@STS-Dreamer
21 күн бұрын
the rocket and spacecraft that flew twice and once respectively? compared to the 3 decade spanning program responsible for the vast majority of humans that have been to orbit? I agree with your final sentence but Energia and Buran really aren’t great examples, considering the N1 was also amazing on paper and is only considered a failure because it never translated into an actual program; which is the exact same problem with the Energia platform and Buran and is nothing close to “similar performance” to the STS stack and orbiter. Soyuz and Proton are much better examples of USSR doing it on par w the US when given the time, funding and stability needed to translate their great ideas into great programs.
@SRFirefox

@@STS-Dreamer Ultimately, Energia and Buran had the same problem as Shuttle - they were bloody expensive. I'm not implying that Buran was in the moment capable of doing the Space SHuttle's job. It was a "bare-minimum get this to space before the USSR collapses from underneath the engineers" effort. However, Energia was a capable launch system and a complete project as far as I can tell. Was it fully mature launch system? Not without more launches. But all comparable launch systems except for the STS fall in that category, even the mighty Saturn V with "only" had 13 launches. Only the United States has ever paid (or perhaps even been capable of paying) for a large number of super heavy launches.
