А в некоторых старых изданиях книги как таковая упоминается другая советская ракета – "Энергия", или обе ракеты. Интересно проследить историю этого рекорда:The N-1 booster of the former USSR (also known as the G-1 in the west), first launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome at Tyuratam, Kazakhstan, on 21 February 1969. It had a thrust of 4620 tonnes, but exploded at takeoff + 70 seconds.
(это говорит, что когда-то рекорд был присужден "Сатурну-5"):It has been suggested that the USSR lunar booster which blew up at Tyuratam at the summer (July?) of 1969 had a thrust of 10-14 million lb. There is some evidence of a launch of a USSR "G" class lunar booster, larger than Saturn V, May 11, 1973. (на следующей строке) The most powerful rocket that has been (нечетливо) is the Saturn V...
(обратите внимание: 154 т!)The USSR's Energia, first launched on May 15, 1987 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, when fully loaded weighs 2,646 tons and has a thrust of over 4,410 tons. It is capable of placing 154 tons in low earth orbit...
The N1 booster of the former USSR (also known as the G-1 in the West), first launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome at Tyuratam, Kazakhstan on 21 Feb 1969, had a thrust of 4620 tonnes, but exploded at takeoff + 70 secs.
(тяга "Энергии" снизилась с 4410 до 3900 т, а полезная нагрузка – с 154 до 116 т!)The N1 booster of the former USSR, first launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome at Tyuratam, Kazakhstan on 21 Feb 1969, had a thrust of 5,200 tons but exploded at takeoff + 70 seconds. Its current booster, Energya, first launched on May 15, 1987 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, has a thrust of 3,900 tons. It is capable of placing 116 tons into low Earth Orbit.
