My Dad was actually at the 1973 Paris airshow and watched the TU-144 crash. From what he said, the TU-144, up until that point, was wiping the floor with the Concorde in impressive maneuvers. He is from a generational US military family and his dad was a Major in the USAF at the time, so he had much reason to favor the Concorde, as well.
They should make this into a TV series or something😉it’s just incredible how close this race actually got in the end! Can’t wait to see who gets there first, goodluck Comrade Beardy!
Between "budget cuts to peaceful exploration" and "this Soyuz launched without any science experiments" I thought for a moment that you had just beat the Americans in sending the first combat spacecraft up! Wonderful video, it would be hilarious if the first lunar landing missions from both countries met each other on the surface
I once heard that BAC actually came up with a special type of rubber for the wheels that had the consistency of chewing gum in an effort to mislead the russians.
This series has been more gripping than many a TV drama, more interesting (and informational!) than some of the supposed science programs conventional media puts out, and it is SO entertaining! Many thanks to all involved in making this series a reality. I havent been this well entertained in a long time. I'm very much looking forward to how the lunar race turns out, and then after that, the race to Mars! :-)
Y'all are real lifesavers. Victoria 3 is gonna release in a few hours and i need something to bridge that time. This is not the something i expected, but its a good something.
I just watched images of the Tupolev crash. For some reason, the pilot pull the aircraft into a massive climb like it was some kind of fighter aircraft instead of the massive, giant sized bus that it was. He caused it to stall, which in turn pointed the nose into a very steep dive. He was trying to pull the plane out of the dive when structural integrity failed and the entire plane broke into pieces before it even hit the ground. Sad fate for the pilots and all involved.
Man if we get a jean-loup kerman around the mun i'll go ballistic. The french being on interkosmos IRL was always so crazy to me. Only capitalist western country to fly on soyuz before the end of the soviet union.
I once heard Apollo 10's LM Snoopy wasn't completely filled with fuel to prevent a premature landing. Pretty much saying "You can disobey orders and land on the Moon if you want, but you wont be able to get back up."
Not true, Snoopy's computer and hence ascent module was just too heavy to reach orbit from the lunar surface It was a prototype LM that wasn't good enough for landing but was good enough to do a dress rehearsal
I can't help but think that landing someone from East Germany on the Moon before The US or ESA could land someone from western Europe would be a great way of dunking on the West.
Suggestion for your next series; so you know how you used after kerbin for your endurance and beyond kerbol series? Well, what if you did a series on the BEFORE kerbin mod? Maybe the plot is the kerbals have to get off eve to kerbin before the moon smashes into it.
Love you beardy, still here after so long. Fall of Kerbin is still one of my favourite series on TH-cam, would you ever consider doing something similar?
Nice work with the Hungary flag, I like the detail. One thing though - the Hungarian flag was actually different back then to what it is now, and I'm pretty sure what you had was the modern one. Otherwise, awesome video as is the norm!
I wasn't going to comment at the time but since you brought it up Kaputt is a German word not a Russian word... Interestingly it was the Yiddish-speaking Ashkenazic people fleeing persecution in Eastern Europe who brought the word to Western Europe and English speaking countries
Why retire the N1 so soon? It finally became reliable and is so cheap to build. Maybe not use it for crewed flights, but for bases or missions to the outer planets.
UR-700 has a HUGE payload capacity, outclassing even the Saturn V He can use Soyuz for crewed flights, and maybe Energia if he devlops it The N1 has too many engines for test lite, even at say 95% reliability, it would have 3× as many potential failure points
Please name the plane competing with dinosaur Meteor. Can't wait to see who's going to win, is quite literaly impossible to guess. And the new partnership with ESA, might just leave the US without any partner can we expect to see SpaceX? I mean SpaceX was born from the lack of progress in space exploration.
We (USSR) didn’t copied Concorde. It was an COOPERATION with France. If you look into blueprints of Concorde and Tu-144, they have many differences. They are not same planes at all. However, Concorde is my favorite plane, and I really disappointed, that it was restricted in 2003. In year when I was born. I wish I could fly on it.
@@TheBeardyPenguin oh, but Finland _was_ soviet-aligned, after WW2 the USSR basically forced Finland into friendly relations, stuff like a "friendship, co-operation, and help-giving treaty"
@@mariasirona1622 oh interesting, I can't say I know much about it. Yeah I suppose it'd make sense then :) By not Soviet-aligned I just meant it wasn't one of the eastern European satellite states
there's very little evidence the soviets copied any of the TU144 design from the Concorde. it's a supersonic passenger jet designed to carry ~100 passengers and cruise at around Mach 2, it's going to look similar for the same reason all the realistic American designs looked similar. the thing about documents being left out is also an urban myth of BAC, apart from the fact it's been denied by multiple sources it doesn't even make any sense. the soviet engineers weren't idiots they knew what a drum brake looked like and they knew how to build intake manifolds for their own engine design. under the hood they were about as different as two planes with that similar a design spec could be. TU-144 used turbofans, Concorde used turbojets, TU-144 weighed almost 10 tons more, the planes were even made of completely different alloys.
I am disappointed in you, Komrade. The vessel should be named the Konkordanski, not Concordanski. No wonder Premier Kerman gave The OKB more funds. All jokes aside, great build and great episode.

My favorite part of the space race was when the n1 said "it's n1ing time" and then exploded 4 times
My Dad was actually at the 1973 Paris airshow and watched the TU-144 crash. From what he said, the TU-144, up until that point, was wiping the floor with the Concorde in impressive maneuvers.

2:15 "but we also have Felix" Hewwo :3
That black and white cabin view of the crew was a nice touch! :D
I always thought Konkordski's canards gave it the look of a guilty spaniel.
This collaboration has been one of the most beautiful things I've seen.
Thank you for producing all these videos! The affort is visible… keep on the good work!
Now I want to see the American concord with its massive variable-geometry wings.
I believe N9 plans to build one!
@@TheBeardyPenguin Will he go for the B2707, or the L-2000? I know the B2707 design won, but the L-2000 seems more viable I suppose.
The Tu-144 was superior to the Concorde except for range, comfort, and the whole "it didn't actually work most of the time" thing.
12:17 that's really the face you make when you're weighting the option to be the biggest girlboss on the history of kerbalkind

Thank you for another wonderful episode. I laughed out loud at the antics at British Aerospace and the Koncordski.
This is the space race we all deserved.
KONKORDSKI!
What a magnificent flying scrapyard.
Also, congrats on the successfull almost-moon landing!
There are no words that can describe how much I love pentaborane
12:02 Probable able to reach out and grab a handful of moon dust
The tension is nearly as thick as a nice bowl of borscht
I have not seen this video yet, but it will be good
Edit:
It was good
I am legitimately happy that the rocket didn't exploded upon launch this time. I am fond of our little red kerbal guys.
4:43 you could say… the phantom menace
Perfect timing!
When you realise beardy is probably spending quality time with his family:
Ahahahahahahaha I wish, I'm barely having a week off for Christmas
@@TheBeardyPenguin oof. Working calls then. Hope nothing too draining occurs then.
You both work so hard and I am happy for both of you, however, I am really excited for you to win the race to the surface! Good luck!
love the new thumbnail, ur way cooler that way. you almost look like mark watney or something
Oh I love the reference to for all mankind with the Anastasia scene.
Finally! Need more Kerbal!

When next episode
Rodina 5 is giving me FAMK Apollo 10 vibes
So is the Kaputnik Design Bureau dissolved? What happened? What changes? I need answers to these unimportant questions!
Not dissolved, just lost a lot of its prestige and funding
@@TheBeardyPenguin A great loss.

Not ending after the landing, we're continuing until Mars!
