==========
This is the N1 rocket, developed by the Soviet Union as Russia’s answer to the American Saturn rocket in an era where both sides of the Cold War were trying to stay one step ahead when it came to advancing rocket technology.
The completed design of the N1 was big but complex, with 30 engines and a total thrust of over 45 million newtons. This would make it the most powerful rocket built at the time with the projected ability to carry up to 95 tons of payload into low Earth orbit.
After all the preparation, the first test launch of the N1 rocket finally took place on February 21, 1969. However, the launch was a disaster, with the rocket exploding in the air just seconds after liftoff.
A second N1 launch was attempted in July 1969, but this also ended in failure when the vehicle fell from the launch pad and exploded.
Improvements were made to the N1 and a third launch was attempted in 1971 but also resulted in failure due to a rotation problem. This was followed by a fourth failed launch in 1974.
The Soviets ultimately shut down the N1 project in 1974 and canceled all plans for a fifth launch.
Since then, the world had not witnessed such a powerful rocket, until SpaceX Starship appeared.
However, the same fate as N1, we all know, that its maiden voyage in April began and ended in flames when the spacecraft lost control and exploded during stage separation just minutes into the flight.
These can almost elide the unspoken hitch here, that building an interplanetary spaceship is really really difficult.
Can Starship be a big mistake?
Let's see what famous scientists and engineers just declared about that.
