If the Soviets get this thing flying, America would be on Mars now.

It makes me sad knowing it will never get off the ground

I love the design, shame it worked better as a small nuke each time they tried launching it.

>>31360045
The design was pure utter garbage after a series of setbacks:

>Lead designer is forced to work with large numbers of smaller engines, leading to inherent engineering complications
>Soviet military wont help because it had no major military value.
>Consistently underfunded and delayed.
>Engine designers refused to design larger engines because they thought it was impossible and too much work within so little time.

Literally the entire rocket system was a failure in design compromises and complexity.

Korolev was not forced to work with smaller engines, it was his personal preference. Which has led to the leading engine design bureau refusing to work on the project. Which has in turn led to constant delays and the whole project subsequently turning into shit. All because Korolev was an asshole assburger refusing to use Glushko engines.

>it was his personal preference

That's an interesting term for "refused to work with the guy who literally sent him to the gulag.

I was under the impression that even if they tried to build a larger engine type it be horrendously rushed to meet the deadline imposed.

There's one of these on display in a park in my hometown. The local Uni helped design the guidance system back in the 60s.

BONUS POINTS: my town is fucking FULL of hippies who often play disk golf at this park. I kek every time, as most of them don't know they're standing next to the first SLBM, which completely changed the course of the Cold War.

>>31361215
Toppest kek.

Fun fact: The City of Davis is a nuclear free zone but used to house a communications site for strategic use including nuclear weapons.

It would have been blotted out from existence had a nuclear war happened.

Look up RD-270. They had an engine on par with F-1 with far better impulse ready to fly.

Well no shit, nigger, that's the point. Was it not for Korolev it wouldn't 've been cancelled.
