Default The book of the dead

Lately I've found myself making lists of my rockets using the My Rockets feature at rocketreviews.com, but there isn't a way of determining which birds are active versus which are gone for one reason or another. Today I went through and changed all of the inactive birds in the listing so that **** shows in front of the name, which automatically puts it at the front of the listing. Normally I wouldn't expect anyone but me to find this interesting, but when I saw the size of the list I thought it was worth posting.

I'll see about adding a field where you specify if the rocket is active or not. I could use that to only list "active" rockets when you add a flight to your flight log.

I didn't mean this as a criticism, but that would be great. I was really just shocked to see all the carnage as a list.

You've wrecked more than the average rocketeer will ever build.

I won't list them all, but I no longer have 32 rockets.

14 were lost while flying (out of 494 launches)
7 lost due to flooding back in 2011
11 were donated after they were built for different reasons
