>>But the USSR falled, and this tech will never be recovered.

Ugly fallout of politics. By the way what happened to all the technology and intellectual power?

Not really politics. Those rockets didn't work very well. (did the N1 ever have a successful flight?)

Russia had plenty of stuff that DID work well, and managed to make a business out of selling launch services.
