[FPSPACE] N1 launches on TV

[Raoul Lannoy]

Hello,
At this moment, there are fascinating color TV pictures of the N1  four
launches in a flemish program.
The third was launched and the pictures are seen  from a distance. The sky
is all reddish. it exploded at an altitude (must have used  a zoom  to
picture it) (sorry, I haven't recorded the program from the very beginning,
but do now-I hope Bart, Tristan and Koen are seeing it too). Ingeneers from
Aerojet went to visit a warehouse loaded with NK33 engines (20some) and were
totally baffled by what they saw. They sent one of them to Sacramento for
testing in 1995 (NKP2) and it was successful: Soviets had a 20 year old
technology not yet available in the USA. That technology is now used for the
Atlas rocket (RD180).
Morality: the Russians can be and are needed partners in the launch
industry.
