Sergei Korolev's ghost is looking at those 33 raptor engines and crying.
Because his ideas for the N1 were not good.
The engine was designed to fire once, so they couldn’t test every engine. They tested samples in batches, to the terrible results of the N1 rocket.
Every engine at SpaceX is thoroughly vetted.
Korolev built the N1 in a cave, with a box of scraps. In the '60s.
