    I was surprised to learn that the Soviets were actually more concerned about redundancy than the USA was, they wanted a full lander and return craft to be landed unmanned on the moon first so that their crew would have a backup plan to get them home if something went wrong with their lander. They didn't actual see the point of a manned mission to the moon other than to be first to return their hero safely. Once they lost that race, they immediately pivoted into sending their already developed remotely operated rovers which did far more science than their manned mission had ever planned for.

    The U.S. having seperate engines for ascent and descent on the Lunar Module was safer than the Soviet LK usage of one engine for both.
    Landing has a risk of an uneven surface crunching the nozzle, or debris kicked up by a descent damaging the nozzle. Either case would leave you stranded.
    Incidentally, Apollo 15 (America's 4th landing) did crunch their LM descent nozzle. Since it was no longer needed, there was no issue. Also, it was designed to crumple too.

      I haven't heard, but that would have required at least two successful N-1 launches, a test flight and the lunar flight, and probably more for test flights in between (NASA had a total of six Saturn V flights before Apollo 11) and I think the Americans would have noticed

  • @rayceeya8659

    The N1 was a very flawed concept. The N1 1st stage had 30 engines. The Saturn 5 had 5. Making 5 engines work together is a lot easier than making 30. That's the reason the Space X Super Heavy has been so problematic. It has 33 engines and still has not completed a successful soft landing the way it's designed.

    I also have severe reservations about the USSR having refined docking and space walking, which they may have accomplished, but there's been no published evidence of whether they did this in a haphazard way (as was the case with Alexi's first, nearly fatal episode) or whether they truly were able to accomplish both scenarios with precision and flawlessness. DOUBT IT!!!
