wayne: In 1968 the U.S. launched successfully about 46 times, with Russia doing it about 73 times, for a total number of launches of 119.

These numbers are pretty typical for the period from the late 1960s through the fall of the Soviet Union.

wayne: My present database only goes back to 1980. I will need to do some research for 1968. Stay tuned.

If you have any stats handy–how would 2018 compare with 1968?
