Falcon 9 Heavy vs. Soviet N-1
Jochem Huhmann wrote:
Additionally the Russians did never test the N-1 first stage prior to launch, while SpaceX already did a full test for the F-9 first stage. This is not to say that the Falcon 9 (Heavy) can't fail, but it has a much higher chance not to fail than the N-1. All four N=1 failures were due to different causes, not some fundamental flaw in the engines. Pat
