    Didn’t the N1 have a massive launch pad failure that we still don’t know how many people it killed?

      Can’t find any reference to anyone dying or getting injured, but in terms of pad damage it definitely takes the cake.

      The first Starship may have put a hole in the pad, but the N1 obliterated it.
