A little about the "underwater constellation of satellites"

    I didn’t find the “space” blog - a huge omission, in my opinion. So here.

    Having read the next funny joke today about the underwater constellation of GLONASS satellites, I decided to give one interesting link to Habré. There are such guys - spacelaunchreport.com - who follow all the space launches in the world. In their extremely interesting analytical report, you can find, for example, such a plate - the number of space launches at cosmodromes for 2010 (in brackets the number of unsuccessful launches):

    Baikonur, Kazakhstan 24 (1)
    Cape Canaveral, Florida 9 (0) 
    XiChang, China 8 (0)   
    Kourou, French Guyana 6 (0)
    Plesetsk, Russia 6 (0)
    Jiuquan, China 4 (0)
    Kennedy Space Center, Florida 3 (0)  
    Vandenberg AFB, California 3 (0)
    Taiyaun, China 3 (0)   
    Sriharikota, India 3 (2) 
    Tanegashima, Japan 2 (0)      
    Dombarovsky, Russia 1 (0)         
    Palmachim, Israel 1 (0)      
    Naro Space Center, South Korea 1 (1)   
    


    Yes, guys, more was launched from Baikonur alone than from the thought of Canaveral, Sichan and Kuru combined. Despite the fact that Russian “Unions” fly from the same Kura.

    This, however, does not prevent Internet iksperds from meaningfully stating: “This shame (mass launch of satellites to a given orbit under water) must be branded until the project is rehabilitated in the eyes of the public.” ( C ) soomrack

    I really want to ask “branding shame ”, Whether they praise successful launches with the same pathos , and why I didn’t observe any recovery on the Internet on any of the 30 successful launches.
