These were Russian engines.

In Soviet Union, ROCKET LAUNCH *YOU*!

They were used on the Soviet N1 Moon rocket that had the same engines cato causing it to crash and burn right after liftoff or shortly thereafter every time they launched one.

I’d like to know who the genius was that pitched the idea to use this motor.

Not really. The launch pad and support equipment went surprisingly unscathed.

Maybe the same ‘genius’ who supports ‘common core’ for kids now days.

I guess America should get used to epic, public and routine ‘failure’

Cool.

I noticed the guy announcing lift-off got very quiet for a few seconds there.

I guess this is what happens when you get your engines off the clearance shelf at the Russian Rocket Store.

Not only were they Russian engines but I thought I heard Elon Musk quoted as saying they were “decades” old.

Who the hell risks millions of dollars of payload on decades-old Soviet rocket engines???

I’m not talking about design...the actual engines they lit off, per Elon Musk, were years years old. I think he said the 70’s.

This must have been the same type of view that killed a bunch of soviet rocket scientists in the 1950’s when a General in charge wanted everybody to get up close and personal to enjoy the launch of one of their new rockets.
