N1 Rocket Explosion #shorts

The N1 was the Soviet counterpart to the US Saturn V Apollo program and was intended to enable crewed travel to Earth's Moon and beyond. All four attempts to launch an N1 failed, with the second attempt resulting in the vehicle crashing back onto its launch pad shortly after liftoff and causing one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in human history.

For anyone wondering, the LES did activate during the launch but no the N1 never carried any crew

N1 is probably my fav rocket. such a shame it never succeeded, the engines were arguably some of the best ever made.

1-The crew compartment separated. Does that mean this one was manned. 2- What was the big explosion in the top right at the very end?

[mihael]

And to think that this could have been the knock out blow to the US in the space race. Such a shame it never lived.

[jeffery]

If my memories are right, still the largest non-nuclear explosion ever happened.

That's what we have escape systems for

Is anyone not gonna talk about the cameraman

[xaviersavedra]

I hope Starship doesn't delete the pad like this did

Oh lord…

Yeeeeaaaah glad the 4th flight was better than the second one

Yikes

[feelincrispy]

I searched for this. First I thought it was real but happy I saw it anyway

[ThatOpalGuy]

seems as though a couple engines lost thrust

[squidwardfromua]

The most powerful rocket ever launched. Much more powerful than Saturn 5, even SLS won't exceed it.

IT'S GONNA BE LOUD! *COVER YOUR EARS!!*

The 1969 display card is very laggy in explosions.

[BO-D]

Corruption is Russia's calling card. Things go wrong when people sell the good stuff to someone else.
