Every single rocket launch in history: 1958

Explorer 1 puts the United States in orbit and leads to the discovery of the Van Allen radiation belts. Vanguard 1 becomes the first solar-powered satellite, and NASA begins operating in October.

Every single rocket launch in history: 1957

The space age begins on 4 October, when Sputnik 1 becomes the first artificial satellite. A month later Sputnik 2 carries the dog Laika into orbit, and the first American attempt, Vanguard TV-3, explodes on its pad.

After 18 months of work, https://t.co/zQKwYM1mmo now has a drawing for every rocket launch in history.

To celebrate I'll post 70 visual launch overviews over the next month, one for every year from 1957 to 2026 (~2 per day).

Hope you guys enjoy!

[ApoStructura @ApoStructura]

This is every rocket launched by SpaceX in 2025.

To get an idea of the scale of what Elon is saying just imagine this but replace the “tiny” Falcon 9s (still one of the world’s most power rockets) by giant Starships
