Arianespace launches UAE military satellite, using Russian Soyuz rocket
Capitalism in space: Arianespace tonight successfully launched a United Arab Emirates (UAE) military reconnaissance satellite from French Guiana, using Russian Soyuz-2 rocket.
The leaders in the 2020 launch race:
31 China
22 SpaceX
5 ULA
5 Rocket Lab
5 Europe (Arianespace)
The U.S. continues to lead China 35 to 31 in the national rankings.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

This counts as European or Russian? You had Russia at 12 on the last leader board.
john Hare: I count this as Europe, as the flight was sold and launched by Arianespace.
