Testing the An-225 Buran carrier, and LK "extra jets"
Just another enlightening issue, Nick,. It's kinda shocking seeing how committed to achieving a crewed lunar landing in the same timeframe as Apollo
Yes, particularly when you consider that the internal estimates of an achievable timeframe were so far behind...
But the politicians demanded a goal that was unachievable on the budget and/or timescale.
There was no commitment to a crewed landing until at least mid 1964 if I remember correctly
