The Soviets' public image is that they build bulky robust machinery. In reality, at least in the reality of space exploration, the Soviets built very agile, viable, robust and very reliable machinery compared to the US. If you dive a bit deeper into the space exploration it becomes apparent. "The Russians used a pencil" although not accurate, but true in being able to reflect the Soviet attitude to the space exploration. Another example: Soyuz is the most reliable by far flying apparatus (measured by the ratio between successful flights and fatal failures), it is so much smaller than the Shuttle. Although, all said here about the N1 rocket and its unfortunate faith is true, the Soviets were not very keen on sending men to the Moon. They considered it would cost less and deliver more to send other unmanned crafts to the Moon. And they done it. First fly-by, then crush-landing, then soft landing, than lunokhod (1 and 2). The latter was a rover sent to the Moon. It was driven from Earth. All these missions accuired more valuable scientific data per dollar spent than the manned flight. What the Soviets did not count on is the propagandistic value though.
If you want to know that side, simply search the life of the ucrainian engineer who developed the whole program. When he died the soviet space program to moon finished, he was sent to work in a gold mine as punishment for being too good. Read his life: Sergej Pavlovič Korolëv

Fun fact about the remotely controlled Moon rover Lunokhod. There were two teams trained to drive the rover. They would receive the data from its sensors, analyse it and give commands to the machine accordingly. One team worked for approx 10 minutes and then they transferred the control to the other team. This was because of enormous pressure and exhaustion of the teams. The team members were chosen, particularly, on how reliable they were. They were told that the whole program costed the people this and so much of workers money and that they are morally responsible for the money (actually "effort" instead of "money", as the Soviets tried to push attention away from "money").
A bigger bunch of nonsense I have rarely seen. Soviet rockets were heavy, inefficient and unreliable. the dry stage weights of the N1 were 2- to -6 times the corresponding weights for Saturn V. The Soviets never mastered LH2 in the space race era, nor could they build a large rocket engine of the F1 class. The Saturn series had a perfect record, while N1 failed 4 time s in a row. Only one mission out of the entire Zond series could have returned a man alive, Soyuz killed 4 men, IN SPACE, in its first few years of operation, while Apollo lost 3 in a GROUND test, and sent men to the Moon 27 times. The Russians were FAR behind the US in almost every way.

what are you talking about the USSR at that moment landed its lunar rover there before the US astronauts without a pilot it was very difficult at that time the USSR had the best computers and powerful
@@lesta_official Read the summary on Wikipedia "history of computing in the Soviet Union". It was in the late 1970s when the USSR had the capability to build a digital computer (small enough) to land an astronaut on the moon.
You forgot about: Luna-10 first spacecraft to orbit Moon Luna-16 first robotic sample return from the Moon Luna-17 (Lunokhod-1) first robotic rover on the Moon Zond-5 first spacecraft with animals on board successfully orbit the Moon and safely return to the Earth.
Russia really did have a laundry list of firsts for space exploration. That’s crazy. I didn’t even know about some of these. The first spacecraft on the moon and the first soil return for example.

@@joeybulford5266 The first country to bring back a sample from the Moon was the United States, not USSR. This was achieved during the Apollo 11 mission in July 1969, when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin collected lunar soil and rock samples from the Moon's surface. These samples were brought back to Earth and have since been studied extensively. The Soviet Union only successfully returned lunar samples a year later, with Luna 16 in 1970.
The Russian Luna missions frequently carried tape players that played recorded cosmonaut chatter back with the radio telemetry. This gave the impression that these missions were manned when they were simply robot probes and landers.
In so many years USSR failed to launch man on the moon and modern Russia didn't do that as well, while the US did it, not just once, but 5 times in a row and all 5 gone well? And, at the same time, we all know how easy it is to manipulate reports and pretend the job's done instead of doing it? And since then the US itself can't repeat it? Elon Musk spends years and billions to teach his rockets reverse and land softly, but in the 60s it was possible? 25 bln$ in 13 years is not even that much, it's as much as just one annual NASA budget today! No, I don' believe you guys. All in the US is about marketing and exaggerated claims and this one is the king of fake claims
Well they did on as Neil said his famous line the soviets flew past, they then were force to try to land, but they crashed on the moon around 100 miles away from Neil and his crew,
The USSR exploited people just the same. It's just it was the politicians that were greedy, instead of business owners. Not to mention the black markets in the USSR. Also, the USSR wasn't exactly going into space for peaceful reasons. Furthermore, both the USA and USSR were using rocket technology created in Nazi Germany. The Nazis, despite their name, were not socialists.
Because they were first to land a rover called Lunokhod-1 and found out that it's a waste of money but Americans needed to redeem themselves somehow with propaganda points so they spent money on risking human lives put on the Moon.
@@fekingpeteroden9295 wah wah Soviet fanboy, NASA is flying drones on mars right now, the Soviets are gone and Roscosmos hasn't done shit but launch the same 60 year old Soyuz.
Brazilian? Idk about that one man. I think Brazil should fix its issues and debt before going to the moon. I’d leave the moon. To the superpowers of the world. Aka China, Russia, America, etc
Those rocket's that were a sold to the USA were the best rocket's ever built. They couldn't build them todat they were that good. There's a great back story to these rocket's from construction, storage and finely their sale to USA, wotht watching. ✌️☘️
the Soviets could easily have been the first to land a man on the moon , there were other goals and the moonwalkers landed themselves without pilots at that time it was beyond the limit despite everything, the Soviets had the most powerful and best computers at that time, then the Soviet buran without pilots could automatically land on the castle like an airplane!
50s and 60's. Lol most ppl didn't even have phones or electricity , but the USA went to the moon lol, and they talked to the president from the moon. That worked first time too lol. What a crock
0:17 the cosmometicsnaut walked in the space of a water tank. Which explains the bizarre air bubbles on the very 1st pictures taken in the West on curved b/w TV screens, as they were relayed from soviet b/w tv.
Nope The Buran was COMPLETLEY difrent in every single way it functioned The only similarity is the airframe wich they purposfully modeled afterthe shuttle thinking the US would only build such a stupidly expensive machine for military purposes
Sergei Pavlovich Korolev was not a rocket engineer he was good in logistics, rare, very rare feet for Russians and as for drones, well the US never did find any of them left over, so there is that, that being said the Soviet Space Program had one big major fault there rocket ignition fears during the early years that would persist
I think it's funnier that you think it's a lie, when you can literally take a look and see the landing legs of the lunar modules if you get access to a powerful enough telescope.
I've looked into moon conspiracies. And none of them bring any evidence.. Some of the footage from the moon would literally be impossible to fake in the 60's. You would need advanced computer animation. How the hell would you fake thousands of tiny dust grains being kicked up and falling in low gravity? IN 1969!??! Would you use thousands of tiny strings? If your answer is yes, just stop. That's ludicrous
@@niclas3672 I must say this though. None of us and the whole world really knows the fact of that event. NO ONE! But the evidence and the fact about the technology back then, and what happened afterwards suggest that there is a slim possibility that we really did go beyond the orbit. The super strong radiation that is proved to be catastrophic to humans, the historical paper works that got destroyed afterwards, the never again attempted to go back, and the fact that a number of scientists and even those who allegedly went to the world slipped and mentioned the fact that that never happened. If the U.S did in fact land on the moon, they would have kept all the evidence and preserved it in the museum for the younger generations to witness. But they destroyed it all, which suggests that they know if they kept it, it would expose their shadiness to humanity. But it's all late, cos there are always ppl who never believe them, including myself.
@@mom6701 Not true. You are referring to the Van Allen Belt, which is a region with a fair amount of radiation. But the apollo astronauts went through it for a very short amount of time, so they weren't exposed to very much radiation. No more than the equivalent of a few X-rays. Also, the US did not destroy all the evidence of the moon landings. They have rocks and soil samples which were brought back, that the public can indeed go see if they feel so inclined. Also, thousands of engineers and scientists worked on the apollo program. You think that thousands of Americans would be a part of this conspiracy and keep it a secret? Ridiculous. Point and case; You could NOT have faked the moon footage with 60s video editing technology. And it would be very difficult even today. Specifically the dust in low gravity. AND you can literally see the remnants of the landers from all the moon landings RIGHT NOW, today. Thousands of astronomers would also have to lie.. Again, that's just ridiculous. And what about the rocket that launched that day? Hundreds of people saw that with their own eyes. My final point, why would they fake it? They spent billions of dollars. They had the technology, and the money to do it. So why risk faking it? It's much more likely they just did it. Because they could.
@@niclas3672 Except those rock evidence could be found anywhere on earth! remember a rock is a rock is a rock. If they could fake the whole landing, don't you think they thought ahead of how to fake materials gathered from Moon to show? U.S government is the most despicable government on Earth. You should know that. They kill, they spy, they invade, and they will do anything to be perceived as the boss of the world. From Moon Landing, from 9/11, and many atrocious acts against humanity, they have done it successfully. Remember how they tested drugs and infected million of ppl in Africa? Remember how they killed Vietnamese with chemicals? Yep, those are the same ppl you think would tell you the truth about moon landing.
Why did the soviet engineers not say (hey we can't waist money, time & developement for the N1 & its launch pands. So let's just use what we have, the soyuz. Give it 5 NK15 engine's & put the lander, the soyuz & the extra propulsion in orbit separately???) Even if the Soviets wouldn't have beaten the US to the moon they could have at least landed eventually, why did they not do that let alone think about that??!!!.
It was a race of who got the best nazi scientists after the war. Imagine if they were all working together for good? They were sent to many nations. Egypt I think it was... got one and there's a bunch of interesting stuff around his efforts. I think he ended up in Canada building a monster launch thing like a massive gun or something, I might be mixing up a couple guys. Lol
& the Apollo 11 launch Day was the day ted drowned his girlfriend, & became lord chappaquickdick. He was invited to watch Apollo 11 departure for the Moon, but spurned it for some wetter pleasure.
Not yet. Dmitry Rogozin, the man who currently runs Roscosmos is planning to send the first group of cosmonauts in moon orbit and later on onto the moon surface in about 2029. They have already started building the rocket, which is called Yenisei. The soviets might have gotten to the moon during the space race as well, but with Korolev's and Komarov's death, Korolev's personal fight with Glushko and the lack of funds were the reason of the N1 launch failure. If Korolev was still alive until the end of the Space race, chances are that the soviets would have been on the moon as well. All those tragedies were a big setback for the Soviet Space Programme. Lets also not forget that Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev was not really interested in space. If successfully developed, Yenisei will provide Russia with a launch capability that can service deep space exploration and missions to the Moon, Mars, and other bodies in the Solar System.
We now know the soviets crashed into the moon in a failed attempt at landing. They're own data proved it to be a one way trip & they still went! #Cosmonauts!
Where are the stars at 1:35 ? That photo wasn't taken on the lunar surface like the Apollo photos were which had the camera settings adjusted to be able to photograph the Moon's surface. The stars were too dim for the camera to photograph them.
The USA beat the USSR to the Moon because US computer technology was light years ahead of the USSR's The USSR was really working with abacuses compared to what the USA's facilities were. Rocket technology, however, was about equal betwen both countries.
Simply not TRUE! Soviet computers with Soviet software were much more advanced than US computers. In 1988 Soviet Space Shuttle Buran made absolutely amazing autonomous flight with Soviet computers onboard.

@@iron60bitch62 The soviets did Soft land on the moon, many times.... How do you think they got 2 rovers there?, wich upuntill spirit and oportunity, held the record for longuest distance traveled
Competition that would it brought better results in foreign policy, if there wasn't one to begin with instead of a collaboration and unity of 2 superpower countries for space travel.. FROM the start would it been more examples of alliance and encourage all POSSIBILITIES to achieve bases and colonizing mars, moon, Venus or any other cosmic body.. by now we probably would have discovered many rare and extremely stronger minerals that could help out more our civilization to reached other levels higher and more advanced technology, or other sources of energy but the reality of the fact is sad, because unfortunately the self greed and tyranny of a small group of families with the sources of making our world a different better world have gone very much out of their way to keep average person under suppression of all that means life information and many great events of innovation in our history from happening...thank you GOVERNMENTS...for selling out freedoms in exchange of security to this very families..

@@CosmicNihilist "Nazi" was a slur concocted by the "allies". In all likelihood it was derived from ashkenazi and probably it was felt this derivation would insult Reich III.

5. the Gravity field of the Solar system based around the Sun makes earth orbit the Sun,, This Means Earth is Inside of the Suns gravity field
6. Whilst INSIDE a SOLAR SYSTEM you are not in SPACE ,, think of Solar systems as a WHIRLPOOL in the Ocean ,, Nothing living ever been to the Ocean of Space we Only spin around in our little whirlpool called OUR SOLAR SYSTEM .....

what are you talking about the USSR at that moment landed its lunar rover there before the US astronauts without a pilot it was very difficult at that time the USSR had the best computers and powerful
@@lesta_official Read the summary on Wikipedia "history of computing in the Soviet Union". It was in the late 1970s when the USSR had the capability to build a digital computer (small enough) to land an astronaut on the moon.
Even 🇺🇸 USA never Landed to the Moon!
You are delusional
The title should be "How the Soviets tricked Americans landing humans on the Moon 😁"
You forgot about:
Luna-10 first spacecraft to orbit Moon
Luna-16 first robotic sample return from the Moon
Luna-17 (Lunokhod-1) first robotic rover on the Moon
Zond-5 first spacecraft with animals on board successfully orbit the Moon and safely return to the Earth.
Russia really did have a laundry list of firsts for space exploration. That’s crazy. I didn’t even know about some of these. The first spacecraft on the moon and the first soil return for example.

@@joeybulford5266 The first country to bring back a sample from the Moon was the United States, not USSR. This was achieved during the Apollo 11 mission in July 1969, when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin collected lunar soil and rock samples from the Moon's surface. These samples were brought back to Earth and have since been studied extensively.
The Soviet Union only successfully returned lunar samples a year later, with Luna 16 in 1970.
The Russian Luna missions frequently carried tape players that played recorded cosmonaut chatter back with the radio telemetry. This gave the impression that these missions were manned when they were simply robot probes and landers.
Yeah, but not for long. Pretty soon, people listening saw that it was a recording they were listening to.
In so many years USSR failed to launch man on the moon and modern Russia didn't do that as well, while the US did it, not just once, but 5 times in a row and all 5 gone well? And, at the same time, we all know how easy it is to manipulate reports and pretend the job's done instead of doing it? And since then the US itself can't repeat it? Elon Musk spends years and billions to teach his rockets reverse and land softly, but in the 60s it was possible? 25 bln$ in 13 years is not even that much, it's as much as just one annual NASA budget today! No, I don' believe you guys. All in the US is about marketing and exaggerated claims and this one is the king of fake claims
Yeah
Well they did on as Neil said his famous line the soviets flew past, they then were force to try to land, but they crashed on the moon around 100 miles away from Neil and his crew,
That was an unmaned Luna mission
Rushed to beat the US at least in sameple return
@@jesusramirezromo2037 and there was also a rushed attempt to get a lunar rover there, but the rocket exploded after launch.

Proof that geed, selfishness or monetary gain is not the only driving factor for human progress.
The USSR exploited people just the same. It's just it was the politicians that were greedy, instead of business owners. Not to mention the black markets in the USSR. Also, the USSR wasn't exactly going into space for peaceful reasons. Furthermore, both the USA and USSR were using rocket technology created in Nazi Germany. The Nazis, despite their name, were not socialists.
Because they were first to land a rover called Lunokhod-1 and found out that it's a waste of money but Americans needed to redeem themselves somehow with propaganda points so they spent money on risking human lives put on the Moon.
Wrong
If it was a waste of money why did they build 4 massively expensive N1 rockets?

Those rocket's that were a sold to the USA were the best rocket's ever built. They couldn't build them todat they were that good. There's a great back story to these rocket's from construction, storage and finely their sale to USA, wotht watching. ✌️☘️

You spelt Yuri Gagarin's name wrong
What company did they sell the improved N1s to?
These engines were built by a jet engine factory
I mean, it was that, or going with Valentin Glushko's idea and using horrible hypergolic toxic fueles
The mood in Russia must have been awful as news came through of America landing on the moon.
the Soviets could easily have been the first to land a man on the moon , there were other goals and the moonwalkers landed themselves without pilots at that time it was beyond the limit despite everything, the Soviets had the most powerful and best computers at that time, then the Soviet buran without pilots could automatically land on the castle like an airplane!
The US never landed on the moon
Nobody landed on the moon
Thanks for Senley Kubrick who makeed the impossible is possible ....as america proverbs says : if you can't make it fake it
Apollo Moon landings weren't faked.
Because nobody landed on the moon
Did your parents drop you?
I don’t think they had or still have the capability
Well, they did send a dog into orbit. So there’s that.
Did the dog land on the moon?
In America we make rockets to send people to space, in Soviet Russia they make people to send rockets to space
Russia beat the US in every space race… INCLUDING one, that never happened.
Fixed it fir you.
I wonder until today still have ppl saying Soviet union is d first man on the moon.
There were eight Luna missions done by the Soviets six of them failed I don’t hear you mention these
Also, the USSR named its missions only after they occurred in case they resulted in absolute failure and could be covered up.
@@moosa1037Yes same with Gagarin mission, but the US covered it up, so in a return of favour the ussr remained quite about the moon landing scam
50s and 60's. Lol most ppl didn't even have phones or electricity , but the USA went to the moon lol, and they talked to the president from the moon. That worked first time too lol. What a crock
0:17 the cosmometicsnaut walked in the space of a water tank.
Which explains the bizarre air bubbles on the very 1st pictures taken in the West on curved b/w TV screens,
as they were relayed from soviet b/w tv.
Interesting how they copied virtually everything there a space shuttle was virtually identical except it really was not successful
Nope
The Buran was COMPLETLEY difrent in every single way it functioned
The only similarity is the airframe wich they purposfully modeled afterthe shuttle thinking the US would only build such a stupidly expensive machine for military purposes
Very interesting
The russian know you cant pass through the radiation belt
Why can't you pass through the radiation belt? It isn't lethal especially with shielding and going through quickly.
Sergei Pavlovich Korolev was not a rocket engineer he was good in logistics, rare, very rare feet for Russians and as for drones, well the US never did find any of them left over, so there is that, that being said the Soviet Space Program had one big major fault there rocket ignition fears during the early years that would persist

Soviet could not beat the U.S when it comes to lying, so the U.S won. LOL
I think it's funnier that you think it's a lie, when you can literally take a look and see the landing legs of the lunar modules if you get access to a powerful enough telescope.
I've looked into moon conspiracies. And none of them bring any evidence.. Some of the footage from the moon would literally be impossible to fake in the 60's. You would need advanced computer animation. How the hell would you fake thousands of tiny dust grains being kicked up and falling in low gravity? IN 1969!??! Would you use thousands of tiny strings? If your answer is yes, just stop. That's ludicrous
@@niclas3672 I must say this though. None of us and the whole world really knows the fact of that event. NO ONE! But the evidence and the fact about the technology back then, and what happened afterwards suggest that there is a slim possibility that we really did go beyond the orbit. The super strong radiation that is proved to be catastrophic to humans, the historical paper works that got destroyed afterwards, the never again attempted to go back, and the fact that a number of scientists and even those who allegedly went to the world slipped and mentioned the fact that that never happened. If the U.S did in fact land on the moon, they would have kept all the evidence and preserved it in the museum for the younger generations to witness. But they destroyed it all, which suggests that they know if they kept it, it would expose their shadiness to humanity. But it's all late, cos there are always ppl who never believe them, including myself.
@@mom6701 Not true. You are referring to the Van Allen Belt, which is a region with a fair amount of radiation. But the apollo astronauts went through it for a very short amount of time, so they weren't exposed to very much radiation. No more than the equivalent of a few X-rays.
Also, the US did not destroy all the evidence of the moon landings. They have rocks and soil samples which were brought back, that the public can indeed go see if they feel so inclined. Also, thousands of engineers and scientists worked on the apollo program. You think that thousands of Americans would be a part of this conspiracy and keep it a secret? Ridiculous.
Point and case; You could NOT have faked the moon footage with 60s video editing technology. And it would be very difficult even today. Specifically the dust in low gravity. AND you can literally see the remnants of the landers from all the moon landings RIGHT NOW, today. Thousands of astronomers would also have to lie.. Again, that's just ridiculous. And what about the rocket that launched that day? Hundreds of people saw that with their own eyes.
My final point, why would they fake it? They spent billions of dollars. They had the technology, and the money to do it. So why risk faking it? It's much more likely they just did it. Because they could.
@@niclas3672 Except those rock evidence could be found anywhere on earth! remember a rock is a rock is a rock. If they could fake the whole landing, don't you think they thought ahead of how to fake materials gathered from Moon to show? U.S government is the most despicable government on Earth. You should know that. They kill, they spy, they invade, and they will do anything to be perceived as the boss of the world. From Moon Landing, from 9/11, and many atrocious acts against humanity, they have done it successfully. Remember how they tested drugs and infected million of ppl in Africa? Remember how they killed Vietnamese with chemicals? Yep, those are the same ppl you think would tell you the truth about moon landing.
Why did the soviet engineers not say (hey we can't waist money, time & developement for the N1 & its launch pands.
So let's just use what we have, the soyuz.
Give it 5 NK15 engine's & put the lander, the soyuz & the extra propulsion in orbit separately???)
Even if the Soviets wouldn't have beaten the US to the moon they could have at least landed eventually, why did they not do that let alone think about that??!!!.
Any video from russains on the moon?
AMERICANS should Thank Soviet Union for such technology ...
It was a race of who got the best nazi scientists after the war. Imagine if they were all working together for good? They were sent to many nations. Egypt I think it was... got one and there's a bunch of interesting stuff around his efforts. I think he ended up in Canada building a monster launch thing like a massive gun or something, I might be mixing up a couple guys. Lol
& the Apollo 11 launch Day was the day ted drowned his girlfriend, & became lord chappaquickdick.
He was invited to watch Apollo 11 departure for the Moon, but spurned it for some wetter pleasure.
I found that correct 👍
Have a Russian ever been on the moon? If so when?
Not yet. Dmitry Rogozin, the man who currently runs Roscosmos is planning to send the first group of cosmonauts in moon orbit and later on onto the moon surface in about 2029. They have already started building the rocket, which is called Yenisei. The soviets might have gotten to the moon during the space race as well, but with Korolev's and Komarov's death, Korolev's personal fight with Glushko and the lack of funds were the reason of the N1 launch failure. If Korolev was still alive until the end of the Space race, chances are that the soviets would have been on the moon as well. All those tragedies were a big setback for the Soviet Space Programme. Lets also not forget that Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev was not really interested in space.
If successfully developed, Yenisei will provide Russia with a launch capability that can service deep space exploration and missions to the Moon, Mars, and other bodies in the Solar System.
We now know the soviets crashed into the moon in a failed attempt at landing. They're own data proved it to be a one way trip & they still went! #Cosmonauts!
1:35 look at all those stars... Now, that s a REAL picture from the moon right there. Not like what hogwash everyone started cooking after 69.
Where are the stars at 1:35 ?
That photo wasn't taken on the lunar surface like the Apollo photos were which had the camera settings adjusted to be able to photograph the Moon's surface. The stars were too dim for the camera to photograph them.
The USA beat the USSR to the Moon because US computer technology was light years ahead of the USSR's The USSR was really working with abacuses compared to what the USA's facilities were. Rocket technology, however, was about equal betwen both countries.
Simply not TRUE!
Soviet computers with Soviet software were much more advanced than US computers.
In 1988 Soviet Space Shuttle Buran made absolutely amazing autonomous flight with Soviet computers onboard.
