    As someone who grew up in a family who all worked at NASA, I always wanted the N1 to be successful. I wish they would have been given the time to make the N-1 reliable. But the truth is, the N-1 was a complicated machine. I’m not sure they could have solved the plumbing, and I don’t know if they had the ground computing resources for difficult missions. Who knows. Cool rocket though. That said, no engine gimbaling, (differential thrust at that time had to be a major obstacle), no engine testing, constructing the rocket first then transporting it, the N-1 had a lot going against it. Ultimately the NASA method of testing and redundancy won out in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Imo, the Saturn V is still the coolest rocket ever made. I would have loved to ride that beast.

    Yeah, there's nothing wrong with a lot of engines in a single sentence. In fact such an approach makes it easier to maintain the vehicle. You run into problems when your engines suck and literally can't be tested before being used, and your vector is controlled by thrust differential rather than gimbaling. But mainly if the engines suck and can't be tested. That doomed all four N1 flights.

    All because of Valentin Glushko, who (although he was the most outstanding Soviet rocket engine expert) turned out to be an informer and, when the secret police interrogated him, denounced the future head of the space program, his friend Korolyev, who was sentenced to 10 years in a hard labor camp for this reason. Korolyev, as the chief designer of the N-1, could not, for reasons of honor, entrust the construction of the main engines of the N-1 first stage to this snitch. The engines were designed by Kuznetsov - an outstanding specialist, but in jet engines, not rocket ones... The American Saturn V had 5 engines in the first stage, Kuznetsov could not create such gigantic engines - that's why the first stage of the N-1 had 30 (!) of them. Thirty - which means at least 6 times more chance of failure. And that was the nail in the coffin of the Soviet lunar program. In none of the N-1 flights did the first stage with 30 engines operated properly. The primary cause of this huge (as a whole program) disaster was Glushko's lack of moral backbone and weakness of character. A typical representative of the Soviet elite of the nation.

Also, I saw somebody else compared this to SpaceX(most likely starship), but I'm gonna go out and say that these 2 engine beasts are no where near the same, for example Starship has been able to develop alot fast and rapidly when compared to the N1, another thing is that starship actually kept developing to complete the mission it was given on flight 1 where as the N1 was dropped after (idk like 3 or 4) unsuccessful test flights.

    What they lacked was resources to do extensive ground tests of engines, control systems, etc. Korolev had to battle Politburo for resources, Mishin didn't have his skills so getting resources was even more difficult. There were those in Politburo debating among themselves about a moon mission. James Harford in his about Korolev, one of the former Soviet engineers said when Kennedy announced a race to the moon, Soviets either get into the race or not. They did neither.

    The Soviets could never have landed an cosmonaut on the Moon because they did not have the instantaneous computing capability that the Apollo had aboard. By the time a radar signal left a descending capsule at the Moon's surface, reached a fast computer in the USSR, solved the orbital equations and returned an answer to the Soviet capsule, the velocity and position of the capsule would be completely different. Landing would be only a matter of luck.

    The N-1 used a flame trench design with three chutes. Interesting. The N-1 was Korolev's biggest blunder. He tried to upstage von Braun's series stage Saturn V by building the series stage N-1, but with inferior engine technology. Korolev had a perfectly fine parallel stage launch vehicle in the R-7 and its upgraded version, the Soyuz launch vehicle. He could have developed an enlarged version of the Soyuz using the engines built for the N-1 with enough payload capability to put two cosmonauts on the lunar surface in 1968 or 1969.

    The Soviets could never successfully synchronize all 30 first stage engines of the N1 rocket due to inadequate static testing. All 4 launches were failures and the last one in November 1972 was shortly before the last Apollo mission. The death of Korolev in 1966 was a big setback. SpaceX Starship first stage (Super Heavy) looks a lot like the N1. N1 had 6 inner engines surrounded by 24 in the outer ring. Super Heavy had 20 engines in the outer ring, 10 in the middle ring and 3 in the inner ring.
