I dislike the phrase "total failure". Whilst it is true that no launches were successful, there may have been benefits in terms of technology development and experience gained that were beneficial to the successor organisations. I expect that this was the case (although I don't know for sure).
Moreover, the projects may have also been successfully managed in the other aspects of time and budget.
Again, I have no specific knowledge of these aspects.
Future versions of this article should at least be open to this possibility. -

Main article mentions only 7 failures however the sidebar mentions 4 sucesses and 7 failures, surely the 4 sucesses should be elaborated on in the main article.

There is an excellent analysis of the failure of Europa and the ELDO in Stephen Johnson's book "The Secret of Apollo". The book deals with systems management, ELDO being the example of what happens when you don't do it. He points out that the "space race" began with three runners, but ELDO failed so early in the game that it isn't widely remembered today.

Blue Streak, along with the UK's TN weapons, were cancelled after the Nassau agreement in 1960. The US made the UK use their weapons, and Polaris/Trident subs, and in exchange the UK were given exclusive rights to supply all WG Plutonium for the common weapons. The Hanford Reactor, which exclusively made WG Pu, was mothballed in 1970. Blue Streak was then further developed for launching LEO vehicles. The engine is not to be confused with the Wolseley Blue Streak Six. So named because there was always a blue streak of burnt oil coming from the exhaust!
