How about the Launches of Other Counrties?

  The space club refers to the countries which sent a space rocket into orbit using their own launching vehicles. If the second launch of Naro succeeds in Korea, we can become the 10th country to join the space club. However, not all of these countries succeeded in launching a rocket at first. Only three countries (the Soviet Union, France, Israel) succeeded in launching on their first try. Other countries only  succeeded after experiencing trials and errors.
 Although USA has a great influence on space technology and is known as a powerful country in space, they also experienced failure. After the world's first satellite, 'Sputnik', was launched successfully by the Soviet Union, the USA launched the rocket, 'Vanguard', on the 6th of December, 1957. However, the first part of the Vanguard fell over and exploded in an instant. Therefore, the USA organized the 'Explorer Project' with rocket scientist Wernher von Braun as the central figure. Finally, they launched the rocket 'Explorer project No.1' on the 31st of January, 1958. Although Japan attempted launching a satellite four times, they have failed every time they tried. Therefore, Dr. Idogawa, who is called the father of space development in Japan, had to quit the laboratory. In their fifth attempt to launch, Japan launched the rocket 'Lambda-4S-5', which was carrying a satellite called 'Osumi'. With this, Japan became the 4th country to join the space club. England, however, had more failures than other countries. In 1966, they set up a plan to launch a space rocket, but the actual launch failed even after 3 tests had been done. Thus, the English Government canceled the plan. However, the request from scientists changed the government's decision. As a result, England succeeded in launching a rocket called Black Arrow, which carried the satellite 'Prospero'. They received the title as the 6th country to join the space club.
 When a country first attempts to launch a rocket, the probability of success is only 27.3%. It means that there is a greater probability of failure. For this reason, many developed countries have failed many times, but they tried again and succeeded. In conclusion, we need to think of the failure as a spring board to success and watch the Naro's second launch.
