Ultimately, the crewed mission never flew, but further Zond missions circled the moon. Interestingly, the Zonds did not use the N1 rocket, but rather the UR-500, which is still in use today, in a much modernized form and called the Proton.

The Zond program was the second step of the Soviet moonshot. The first, testing the Soyuz, would develop spaceflight techniques they'd need for the moon, among other goals. Then the Zond program would make a circumlunar flight, then finally the landing with the N1-L3 complex.

Zond 5 was a test flight in support of the Soviet objective of completing a circumlunar flight with a crew of two cosmonauts. The Zond spacecraft (7K-L1) was basically a stripped down version of the Soyuz 7K-OK, removing the forward living compartment.

"She had lived for nearly a year in this 2-billion-year-old tomb, the radiation and poisonous atmosphere slowly degrading her body, pulling her down to the dirt, trying to trap her within the fifty-five million square miles of lifelessness."

Also appears in TNG "The Measure of a Man"

I don't.

Hey thx

Maximum passenger capacity is 48, but setting up multiple ships on the line would provide consistent passage to the moon, where transfer capsules would take passengers to orbiting stations where they could take landers down to the surface, or stay in lunar orbit.

We're already moots :)

Ha I wish I had the skill to do something like that

Very cool. Shawn kept hitting his pen. Was pretty funny to see it light up in the dark.
