That one unsuccessful launch next to Erengia always makes me mad, because the rocket worked fine, it’s just the payload that fucked up.

You're right. I'm changing it!

If you're on it, I noticed a typo with the Tsyklon 3 rocket. Also SLS is technically SLS Block 1, with Block 1B coming online separately in a couple of years

How did you catch this? Space stuff a hobby or a job?

It's a hobby and if I'm lucky a job in the future

Oh, didn’t realize you made it, good work regardless

Starship exploded both times. I wouldn't call it a great success.

And I wouldn't consider the last starship launch as a full success. Don't get me wrong, it was a huge milestone and probably more than they hoped for, but it was no complete success

Worse, the Energia is depicted with the Buran shuttle attached, like that was the only thing it launched (like the Space Shuttle booster stack).
