I initially read this title as "more than 20,000 objects launched into space in 2024", but your description is making me think it's "more than 20,000 total launched by the end of 2024" (so ~5200 more objects). Which interpretation is correct?

bought Ṁ51 of YES

@DanMan314 Number circled is a total launched whenever. 2023 will end with total around 17626 and 2023 number around 2917. So 2024 launched objects would have to fall by ~16% for it not to be true.

@ChristopherRandles Right, like I said I think the second interpretation of the market being about the cumulative launched objects is more reasonable. Just looking for confirmation of that from Tomek.

@DanMan314 Yes, the market is about total number of objects. Should i clarify some wording? Thanks

@itsTomekK Not sure I have a great suggestion, I just misread the title at first and think others might too. Maybe

2024: "Will the number of objects launched into outer space reach 20,000"?
