The US version of the N-1 is coming along nicely.
Why post a video from July 2022?
Post when it explodes on its upcoming flight.

It might be able to deploy the special forces within 1 hour. But it won't be fueled in 1 hour, nor will the deployed units be able to get back. It will be a one way trip. Because there is no way the rocket will have enough fuel to make it back.Big_Gazza wrote:I guess the pentagram will just have to wait some more until they can deploy special forces plus their expeditionary kit to anywhere on the planets surface within 1 hour...

The problem with recovery is that they need fuel to return to Earth. Space-X has not mastered the management of this fuel and we see the
result. Likely the second stage exerted sufficient thermal stress on the first stage to lead to the delayed detonation.

Each of the engines on the N-1 was a technological masterpiece. The N-1 design could be fixed with modern CAD where all the vibration harmonics
can be identified and controlled.
The problem with recovery is that they need fuel to return to Earth. Space-X has not mastered the management of this fuel and we see the
result. Likely the second stage exerted sufficient thermal stress on the first stage to lead to the delayed detonation. They probably skimp on
the insulation to save weight. Conventional disposable does not have this problem since no fuel is left and thermal damage is not an issue.
If the detonation was caused by the engine compartment of the first stage, then Space-X has bigger problems. Having 3 engines running should
not be a catastrophic risk.

In reality, anyone with a half-way decent SAM system will blast this flying silo out of the sky without any problems. Seems like a silly way to dispose of a company of elite troops and their expensive toys, but its their meat and money so I encourage them to double down for all they are worth

Its also like they don't *know* how their SF dudes fight.Big_Gazza wrote:
Pentagram morons who are pushing for this garbage system probably play too much Warhammer 40K... they seem to have a huge boner for US special forces clad in power armour and alighting from Drop Pods straight into glorious combat. The main problem of course is that while they think they are the Space Marines, in reality they are the Orks.
