The failures can often be spectacular given the energy involved, but in terms of actual numbers we've gotten pretty good at putting stuff in orbit.

- ihatepython 3y agoWell.... we're still a primitive society so.... not sure what you are trying to say.
- renewiltord 3y agoHumans, perhaps not. At best you can stop your friends from doing this. But you can't stop your enemies.
