‘Shame on Boeing’: Elon Musk hails Russian-made rocket engine’s design as ‘brilliant’

I found the video on YouTube. Runs about 50 minutes.

The Design Bureau warehoused 60 NK-33 engines. They have also received a contract from Lockheed for over 100 RD-180s, the bigger version.

The N-1 Russian moon rocket used 30 NK-33s while our Saturn V used only 5 first-stage engines. Interesting to see how different groups working toward the same goal come up with different solutions.
