How have rocket launches trended across time? Has mission success rate increased?

Which countries have had the most successful space missions? Has it always been that way?

Which rocket has been used for the most space missions? Is it still active?

Are there any patterns you can notice with the launch locations?

Ensure that all records have valid dates, and that the date range is within the specified bounds (1957 to January 2022).

Check that location data is consistent and can be mapped to a known list of launch locations.

Validate that the organization, rocket name, price, and status fields are populated and fall within expected values.

Handle inconsistent data in the dataset. This involves standardizing entries.

Standardized the price column by multipliying the price column to converted USD million to USD.

Created a new table for date based on mininium and maximum date from the date coloumn.

Created a country coloumn using the the text to coloumn feature in excel to extract the country name from the location coloumn.
