TidyX Episode 180: How much stuff have we sent to Space?
Ever wondered how much stuff has rocketed into space? This episode we do a 180 and look at how we started TidyX by looking at a TidyTuesday dataset to explore objects launched into space! We'll learn how to wrangle the data, calculate launch counts by year, and create visualizations with ggplot2. Plus, we'll discover a cool trick for faceting plots with independent y-axes, and finally show a fun way to interact with facets using the trelliscopejs package. Join us for a stellar exploration of space exploration data!

Another great episodw. Looking forward to the episode 200 party edition! In your plots the y axis was count data. It irritates me that ggplot will often put decimal points on scales even if you bother to define the variable as an integer. For one plot it's not too hard to manually input the breaks etc. Is there an easy way of getting round this problem when you are generating lots of plots, as in your example? It should be as simple as saying "this is integer data, 10.5 is meanigless!"
