The LK would then be thrown away.
They had the equipment, but they didnt have the rockets.
Getting to the moon requires launching a command module and a lander.
Both are heavy objects and require massive amounts of thrust to get into orbit.
The LK was sent into space for numerous test missions.
The first two unmanned flights were successful tests of the vehicle through a simulated orbit.
The third flight ended when the N-1 rocket crashed.
The poster couldnt show everything and describes the vibe around the many parts as secretive.
