The drafts of N1 Rocket started in 1959 under the direction of Korolev within theB OK-1, following a decree of January 1960. Korolev will express in the Pravda: "The possibility of a direct exploration of the Moon, ... the construction of a scientific station inhabited on the moon. ". We are then at the beginning of the space conquest. And at that time, technology, science fiction, fantasy and politics mixed for the happiness of viewers and the anguish of the secret services!
