As of October 2023, thousands of rockets have been launched into space since the dawn of the space age in the late 1950s. This includes various types of missions, such as crewed spaceflights, satellite deployments, and interplanetary missions. Notable launch providers include NASA, SpaceX, Roscosmos, ESA, and others, with SpaceX alone having conducted over 200 launches. The exact number of rockets launched can vary widely based on definitions and counting methods, but it's safe to say it's in the thousands.
