Wait a minute, I do not see this one, and it sure flew a lot:
To: BenLurkin
The Soviet N1 never had a successful flight and the Soviet shuttlecraft was basically made from plans stolen from NASA.

Good old Saturn V. ‘Merica!

I wish I could have witnessed a V launch in person. It must have been awesome!

The Rocket had to have more than 3 successful flights and each rocket had to be unique no later versions from the same rocket family, such as the Soyuz. Therefore, Buran (1 successful flight) and N1 (Zero successful flights) should NOT be on the chart.

Energia launched successfully once. That doesn’t fit into the author’s narrative that each have three successful launches before being included on the chart. Plus, Iran and North Korea may each have had one successful launch, but when tracking 3rd world sh1t holes, one successful launch should get them listed. This technology is directly related to ICBM development.

Thanks BenLurkin, extra to APoD. That N1 (second to last one) blew up real good.

The Delta 4 Heavy is a sight to see go.
I saw one go from my back yard one night. It was spectacular and I am 250 miles north of the cape.

I take it this is only a chart of rockets destined for space? I don’t see the V-2 on the chart, for example, despite it being a major milestone in rocketry.
