Why is Elon repeating other people mistakes?

There's probably more compute power in a $1.50 Arduino than existed in the entire Soviet Union.

Comparing your immediate thought process to the work of 10,000 engineers working on this rocket every day makes me 100% certain you're wrong without even needing to know any facts

Pic rel was the most reliable orbital rocket for decades (before the F9).
The problem of the N1 wasn't related to the number of engines, they simply couldn't make a good project and achieve the reliability required for the whole program.
The Saturn V engines showed that fewer combustion chambers isn't necessary better, they're always on the edge of failure (multiple launches with the problematic pogo resonance).

that's only 5 engines

The failure of any combustion chamber would have ended in a complete failure.
Multi chamber are hard, it just that large chambers are harder to stabilize and be worthy at the same time.

The N1 never got past about 40km altitude or something like that without blowing up. Starship has surpassed it in every way.

There's a good video explaining this.

The way he stranded those two astronauts on the ISS with his shitty, inferior rocket is pretty embarrassing. He clearly doesn't know what he's doing.

this thread is moving so fast no one will notice theres a spacewalk going on right now

Not him but my Boeing puts are doing very very well, I'd just like to interject that.

Is there anything remarkable about Polaris Dawn's spacewalk other than it's a private mission?

Because he can. SpaceX gets generous subsidies from the US government with little oversight. Elon is playing with someone else's money (you, the taxpayer). Vasiliy Mishin had to work on a tight budget with communist bureaucrats breathing down his neck. If he went overbudget or didn't succeed, he'd be digging holes in Siberia, and he was competing against guys like Chelomei. Musk doesn't have that limitation. He's got a blank check and all the time in the world and no competition.

An additional problem was the Soviet government gave OKB-1 a small budget, the chief designer Korolev died, and his successors like Vasiliy Mishin weren't as good at dealing with the party bureaucracy or competition with other OKBs. By the time the program was cancelled, most of the problems with the N1 had been solved, but the political rationale for sending a guy to the Moon was gone.
People forget, some highly successful technologies came out of the N1 development, such as Kuznetsov's famous NK-33 and the KORD computer.

Just a decline of 95 percent in a single year. I can only assume you are shorting them hard.

Not read the news lately.

All raptor engines only have 1 combustion chamber. If they're having issues they're entirely new ones.
