Default Reading about the lost ships to mars

Ok yesterday I was reading about the lost rockets going to mars and how 3/4
do not make it.
BUT this to me is a really big BUT 1/2 of the number were early soviet
rockets that blew up on lift-off
or going into orbit. And 1/2 of ours were early in the space program. If you
start around say 1972
we started getting much better at getting the stuff up there.

Personal I think the early one should not count if it vaporizes on the pad.
Its a learning curve thing.
