JS map return object

Use .map without return in simple way. Also start using let and const instead of var because let and const is more recommended

const rockets = [
    { country:'Russia', launches:32 },
    { country:'US', launches:23 },
    { country:'China', launches:16 },
    { country:'Europe(ESA)', launches:7 },
    { country:'India', launches:4 },
    { country:'Japan', launches:3 }
];

const launchOptimistic = rockets.map(elem => (
  {
    country: elem.country,
    launches: elem.launches+10
  } 
));

console.log(launchOptimistic);

You're very close already, you just need to return the new object that you want. In this case, the same one except with the launches value incremented by 10:

var rockets = [
    { country:'Russia', launches:32 },
    { country:'US', launches:23 },
    { country:'China', launches:16 },
    { country:'Europe(ESA)', launches:7 },
    { country:'India', launches:4 },
    { country:'Japan', launches:3 }
];

var launchOptimistic = rockets.map(function(elem) {
  return {
    country: elem.country,
    launches: elem.launches+10,
  } 
});

console.log(launchOptimistic);
