      Why would starship test flights be included in an Orbital launch statistic?

      Why did you run out of colors? They are free. Multiple shades. Wild variations of colors for legibility?

      I see one blue shade. Can’t tell where it is on the chart. Did you stack both blue countries side by side in the graph?? It looks like it to me. 🤷‍♂️

      Man, that European 3 hurts. We completely underinvested in this one.

      Is it weird to be both impressed and surprised by the length of this list?

      Like, for some of these countries, I’m impressed that they managed it.

      At the same time. I’m surprised that more countries don’t have a space program. I know it’s expensive, but damn, it’s been a thing for, what? 50+years now?

      Is the knowledge on the mechanics of space travel being kept from the global science community? Is it just that fucking expensive? Or are other countries just piggybacking off their space studying allies?

      I’m just curious because I would have thought, at the very least, more countries would have their own satellite launches.

      The entire Europe has combined 3 launches? What are these guys doing? They are falling behind in every tech sector.

    9. Starship launches should not be counted as launches if the rocket bursts into a million pieces shortly after launch.
