N1: 30 engines working next to each other instead of big engines. Starship: 33 engines working next to each other. There might be some details, but concept and idea are same.
- tekla 4y agoThats basically saying a car made in the mid 1900 is the same as a car made in 2020's because they have 4 wheels. It demonstrates a profound ignorance of the improvements made in technology and engineering in over 50 years.
- TheLoafOfBread 4y agoNo, it is like comparing 4 stroke engine from 1960 and 4 stroke from today. Still same concept despite the fact that engine from today has ECU. N1 was only rocket attempting this setup before Starship. And failed miserably.
- Diederich 4y agoFalcon Heavy, with 27 engines, has had a number of successful launches, and zero failures.
