I work for a company in love with the darn things: credit where due; they are straightforward. In writing I’ll spell them out with the (acronym); the all-cap stand-in used thereafter.

Don: I’m not sure I understand your question. First, what is “ROW”?

The leader board does not include all launches in 2025, so adding up those launches will not equal the total count listed below, when I compare SpaceX to the rest of the world.

I certainly can make errors in this (and have in the past). Please clarify your question so I can make sure you haven’t spotted something that needs fixing.
