    To be fair, Challanger's blow-up was the most spectacular blow-up ever. The pink clouds

        In all seriousness, what's that "Not Specified" about?
        Classified; not public information.

          It's a further shame that you are incapable of distinguishing between the 4th most reliable modern launch system and the 32nd.
          I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

            At first I was stunned that Intel had experienced a 30% drop. Then I saw that the first graph conflated the Intel chips but didn't conflate the IBM chips, and that the second graph conflated the IBM chips but didn't conflate the Intel chips. Still, 10% is a pretty big shift.

              Ariane 4 would have been a better choice. The ranking would have been effectively tied.

                those graphs and charts are useless.

                What I want to know is how fast they can run Civ4 on a huge terran world.

                  True, but the that was in 1987 and only two have blown up in the nearly 30 years they've been opporating the shuttle. A much better success rate then that French junk you folks use.

                    Civ4 is so poorly optimized that they might not be able to run it.
