Edit: mistyped 317 as 313

Those were the Before Times. Now SpaceX is sending up sky clutter all the damn time.

I don't know what that Arianespace figure is referring to (perhaps just the commercial satellite market, or the portion of it they expect to capture?) but there were 317 successful launches to orbit in 2025. Last April there were six in 24 hours: https://www.space.com/space-exploration/launches-spacecraft/...

Three launches from one company is unusual though.
