Space Mission Analysis

This Jupyter notebook explores data on successful and failed rocket launches by country and organization from 1957 to 2020. I use the Matplotlib, Seaborn, and Plotly libraries for data visualization, ISO3166 for converting country names into ISO codes, and CPI to convert actual prices to real (aka, inflation-adjusted). I learned from this project that the number of failed launches have decreased over time, that the USSR conducted many launches from present-day Kazakhstan, NASA has spent more (in real dollars) than all other organizations combined, the USSR's RSVN has spent the most (in real dollars) per launch, and there was a lull in rocket launches after the height of the Cold War and before the rise of private companies like SpaceX.
