[FPSPACE] Are there films of the N-1 launch on July 3, 1969?

[cpvick]

There are several video's one of which shows the LET action pulling the
spacecraft free. The film that is so sensitive at Energia that I and
others have seen shows the following morning examination of the
recovered descent module some distance from the area of failure.

Are there any known films of the N-1 launch of July 3, 1969?  Perhaps
they would show if an escape capsule was ejected during the explosion?

Yes, all of that is explained in the Smithsonian display -- the question

remains: WHY are Belyayev and Gagarin listed among those who died on
space 
missions in quest of the Moon, training or otherwise -- Including
Dobrovolsky, 
Patsayev and Volkov?  Did they not know that "officially" Gagarin died
piloting a 
trainer aircraft while supposedly drunk, taking with him his instructor,

Seryogin?  Did they not know that Belyayev's surgery was botched in 1970
and he, like 
Korolyev, supposedly died of peritonitis?  These men did NOT DIE
(officially) 
in "quest of the exploration of the Moon." 

However -- and this because I was asked to repeat my wild theories -- if

Gagarin and Seryogin were really aboard Zond 4B, that would explain
Gagarin.  And, 
if Belyayev and an unknown rookie were aboard the N-1 launched 3 July
1969, 
that would explain Belyayev; though it appears that the capsule was
pulled away 
from the conflagration and he may not have died in the incident -- maybe

later from injuries that never healed -- I'm just trying to make sense
out of a 
lot of loose pieces, and the air crash and surgery stories never sat
well with 
me.  Of course, if there is officially no Moon program, how can men die
in Moon 
Rocket accidents?

Most of the things that I was once chided for, even herein, have now
been 
shown to be correct.  And, now we know that many of the diaries may be a
bit less 
than complete and/or accurate, so where is the whole truth?

Think of it this way!  The Soviet politicians were still in control!
What 
better man to go to lunar distance for the first time than the first man
in 
space -- we know he was back in training!  And, they needed a
spectacular success 
following the demise of Komarov.  And, I'm not the first to think that
Leonov 
was left in the cold without a moon ride when the PROTON was scrapped as
the 
vehicle to go circumlunar, but his Voshkhod cabinmate, Belyayev, might
well 
have been one of the first two, the only two, to get a ride aboard a
Zond carried 
by N-1, however shortened that flight was to be.

Take your shots!  I've been both hit and missed before ...
