Wait a minute, I do not see this one, and it sure flew a lot:

The Soviet N1 never had a successful flight and the Soviet shuttlecraft was basically made from plans stolen from NASA.

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.

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.
To: BenLurkin
That first one was a tough catch.

Thanks for posting that. My late dad worked on the space program and loved everything to do with rocketry.
We lived close enough to a rocket testing facility that we could hear - and feel the rumble through the ground even though we were miles away.
The power of those rockets was incredible.

Here are two very very brave and heroic astro-dogs, Strelka and Belka:
Both survived space, flight, Thank God, many Soviet dogs did not.
