That said, aren’t VITAL COMPONENT TESTED before risking a “failed launch”??

Of course, no one cares about calling the Netherlands THE Netherlands or the Hague THE Hague, two examples that instantly come to mind. If I put some thought into it I am sure there are other nations that are referred to in the same way.

I prefer and use the proper Ukraine without “the” as it is a nation state. But I’m also with Bob on who cares. It’s a bit like Canadians whining about “Americans” meaning us USA folk.
