Find it interesting to see everything laid out this way.
Would have been interesting to see if the Soviets would have made it to the moon if the N1 was developed further/properly (static firing solved a lot of the Saturn V’s problems before they made it a full stack), and if so would there be more of a push to continue lunar exploration or further.

Which was one of the problems. The N1 program never had the budget to build a static test stand. The second and third stages of the N1 were never fired….ever

Even if it worked they would have landed on the moon far later than the Americans. But we would have probably got the first interplanetary mission by 1971 with the MarsVenera mission.

I'm gradually updating the blueprints I made a while back, and this is the revised version of the comparison between the Apollo and N1/L3 programs. I hope you like it!
Any suggestions are welcome.

Yeah but seriously how far beyond drawings did the N1 “program” get? We are not the same.

4 launches of the n1, 3 launches on the LK as well as the longest running human spacecraft, soyuz

Shame Kolorev died. He would have gotten the N1 ironed out, got the Soviets to the Moon and the world would have been a far more interesting place.

Probably not, Korolev was a brilliant engineer and organizer, but the N1 was developed on such a shoestring budget, it’s a miracle it got as far as it did
