This week, the data was a summary of every rocket launch since humans started firing things into space. There was a whole heap of interesting metadata, including things like the agency responsible and the names of the rockets used - which might have lent itself to analysis of famous series of rocket launches like Saturn or Apollo - but I kept things simple with an analysis of launches by country:
This week was a chance to get my map on. I stuck with what I know and mapped using ggplot2, but I've been meaning to use newer packages such as sf and cartography, so will aim to use these next time.
