Dude, that's screwed up for you to call her out on having pride in her country for going back to the moon on some PC bs. Even more messed up that she capitulated. Please people, stop with the PC police and let others have original, non group think thoughts...... That kind of stuff makes me want to never listen here again... Seriously. If it'd been someone in China talking about how proud they were that their country had such large aspirations, I kinda doubt you'd have called them out.

MY favorite moment from 2016 was the start of the OSIRIS-REx mission when it launched on the Atlas V 411. Awesome mission, launched on an awesome rocket.

To further muddy the waters with launches, what about launches outside the borders of any country? I'm thinking about Sea-Launch and Strato-Launch. I think the way to tell is by who's name is painted on the rocket. USA takes Spacex and others because the companies are based out of the USA. ESA takes the 4 proton launches because they re-painted the rocket before launching it. If you can control the rocket enough to paint it, it's yours.

I CIRCLED MY NAME! (I should not have done it in Sharpie.)

French here, I think the most interesting way to count the launches is to see who builds the rockets as it tells a lot about the manufacturing capacity of the said country. As such, Ariane 5 and Vega goes to Europe willst Soyuz goes to the russians. One other problem is rockets like the old Antares powered by russian made engines but to me, it still goes to the americans.

Hey people, I think its cool to do a on sight reporting segment. For example all the things you've been talking about, like the space x booster in LA and the observatory

Can anyone comment on the accuracy of the NatGeo Mars series?

Consider shared launches as global humanity launch! I think it is the best to have various countries responsible for sending payloads to space... Space is one for everyone after all, send things of the planet is a global challenge! and having people connect and work together is an awseome way to unify humanity!

My big cheering moment for this year, Blue Origin's in-flight abort test.
What technology got me excited for the future, the BEAM. -
Cariann was ON FIRE in this epic epicsode...

Since you guys were wondering how the amount of launches this year compares to the amount of launches in the beginning of the space race, there is this amazing wikipedia page which gives a complete overview of the orbital launches of all times worldwide: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_spaceflight
It's very interesting to see that the yearly amount of launches worldwide up untill the 80's was much higher than today. At the time, there were easily more than 100 launches a year. Nowadays we only have between 80 and 90 launches a year. Since the early 2000's, the number has been growing again though, with 2014 as the best year in the last decade with 88 succesfull launches. 2016 will sadly not top that. The all time record is 1983 with 127 succesfull launches.
BTW there is also a yearly overview of amount of launches per country, per spaceport etc. -
I would say that the count should go to the Country which make the vehicle. If we take an analogy with airliners, if a Boeing plane crash, despite it's from a specific country, we will point that an investigation has to be made on that specific plane from that specific company.

If it's physical location of the launch pad... Then Russia hasn't had any launches... They're mostly from Kazakhstan...

Thanks for the memories and all the laughs of 2016, great job to all the team and the Patreon members for keeping me connected to space this year from 2514Ben.

My favorite parts of the 2016 shows was the intro from the everyday astronaut and when everyone was there for the SpaceX announcement. Best space moment was CRs-8 landing on the barge. The set is coming together and the show has nice follow to it now. Cant wait for next year..

I actually visited Griffith last spring and enjoyed it. I saw Jared there, but didn't want to interrupt his discussion with a staff member. Greetings from the other side of the hemisphere - Finland!
