It really sucks the Space Race just kinda stopped after Apollo

The description of the N1's intended use shows how clever NASA was with their redocking approach. Saturn V and the Apollo modules had fewer stages and fewer steps. That means more efficiency and fewer risk factors to account for

Space Race: "Not with a bang" Also Space Race: "It was the largest non-nuclear explosion in human history"

Ive been saying this for months, if apollo continued and nasa still got funded as it was back then, we would already have a mars colony and a moon city!!

Whoa. I thought it was a mistake but it kept happening. that out-of-focus-fast-jumble-transition is like poking your viewers in the eyes. Omg you keep doing it.

Those transitions hurt. Everything else is amazing, but they make me wanna flip the table.

You showed a picture of a nuclear fusion reactor but said the soviets planned to build a fission reactor.

That’s all nice to say that the Soviet N1L3 rocket produced more thrust that the Saturn. One small point to make is the N1 never completed a test flight. The Soviets had twelve test flights planned, but the four flown, and I use the worn flown very lightly here, ended in failure. I bet your next video will be of the Buran, and how much better it was than the space shuttle. It flew once, was unmanned and only had two orbits before landing back on earth.

Great video @TheSpaceRaceYT —interesting and educational. But I’m kind of surprised you got through it all without mentioning For All Mankind (Apple TV+), which showed what could have happened if the Soviets got to the moon first, even focusing on the Zvezda moon base. Anyone interested in what could have been would get an interesting glimpse at it in that show.

Every time I see these videos talking about who was first in space and what side was planning to do, it just haves me always thinking about what would happen if they just ended up working together instead of just by them self. But to be honest even if Coralv lived and help change how N1 preformed, it'll probably still be him and Glo's to be head budding over who's is better and may lead to another rocket to challenge N1. But it'll also be a question how long they would be able to stay there and what would they actually use that place for?

I’ve recently had your channel pop up on my recommended videos and I have to say I love your content, ive learned more information about the space race than I ever learned in school . It’s been my go to the past several days.

There's a cool series called "for all mankind" that explores how history would have gone if the soviets had landed the first person on the moon

i always thought that the soviets just had a handful of unmanned probes to the moon, never knew more than this

I really enjoyed this episode. Thank you.

Love it, this remains one of my favorite channels! 💜

Followed the channel for a while.... One of your best video's to date. 😊

Creating the biggest non nuclear explosion is an really unexpected achievement And it could have been much worse, because block b and c did by an incredible chance not explode

Oh we have pretty good idea what would happen if Soviets got to the moon first. It's called For All Mankind and it's absolute banger of a TV serie

I loved the " For all mankind "show just to see how things could of been different if the space race went differently and we kept pushing
