You have to admit that it’s pretty badass how the two countries were neck and neck for several years despite failures and setbacks.

You also have to admit it’s based and high test as fuck for America to announce a moon landing despite being BTFO several times already by 1961.

Too bad Russo had a shit economy and couldn’t test the N1 before launches so it didn’t explode. Would’ve loved to see it fly right.

Also could Mars Direct have worked out? I know the ERV cabin is too small, but are the numbers solid other than that? I remember Zubrin saying it would at most cost less than $100 Billion over ten years or so
