@@Pottery4LifeIndeed. The odds are tight--which will make it all the more exciting if they manage to pull this off. Here's hoping they can reach that high bar and keep going!

Engine section recovery doesn't sound like throw-away to me. Recovering the most expensive part of the rocket without the added development cost/time and lower mass to orbit of landing the whole booster. For a company like ULA, the move makes a lot of sense, they have a much more slow and steady approach and it would take like 10 years for them to develop a VTOL recovery system, by the time they'd have one developed they'd be so far behind it wouldn't matter. Just recovering the engines is a much more cost effective and quicker development process while still greatly bringing down the cost of the rocket.
Well, not the same reliability. It's a new design and hasn't flown yet. Hopefully no other design oversights such as the tank dome failure won't occur.
Tempting fate again with the reliability claim, same as putting such an important payload on the first flight test. I really want you to succeed though and will cross all fingers and toes!
That happens for literally every rocket, don't try and act like it only happens to one company or organization. Happens to SpaceX, NASA, Ariane/ESA, ISRO, JAXA, Blue Origin, etc. Development delays are just part of ambitious aerospace projects.
@@salty_berserker_channelRL10 and Centaur have been around and flying for decades, the SRBs are larger versions of the ones on Atlas V. Only difference is the BE4s on the first stage, but knowing ULA, they had the BE4s tested to perfection.
@@starmanxvi be4 has never flown. The two engine version of centaur hasn't flown much. Making claims that this ship is just as reliable as any of their other ships is deceptive. It's still an unknown.
@@salty_berserker_channelEvery new product claims to be just as good or better than the previous, and yet you don't complain about those. Why should Vulcan Centaur be any different?

It will be nice to have ULA finally pressing ahead again. No matter what happens concerning a rumored sale I hope that they have a successful future.
Godspeed Vulcan! Excited to see you fly tomorrow!
Cant wait to see Dream Chaser fly on this!
Live long and prosper Vulcan! 👍
Can’t wait to see Vulcan launch tomorrow that is one beautiful fat, rocket 🚀
Cant wait for tomorrow
Godspeed vulcan!
Godspeed Cert-1 and Vulcan Centaur!!!
"Let's light this thing"
Go Vulcan. Go ULA.
Looking forward to this launch - will be in the viewership!
We SALUTE you all sincerely yours Maryam shahzadeh ghajar Qajar Dynasty
Setting my alarm for 7 in the morning! 🚨
honestly never thought it was gonna get off the ground…congrats ULA!
Ad Astra
Now that solids got both BE-4's off the pad, if New Glenn doesn't work, does that ground Vulcan?
Can’t wait to watch vulcan launch today! Go ULA! Go Vulcan!
It BETTER work the first time, we don't want to lose that lunar lander.
Why did they stop making the last rocket?
Find it hilarious that the piloted Starliner hasnt been able to get off ground before this test.
It's kind of brave to make claims about reliability before even the maiden flight.
That being said: godspeed!
Maybe not so much brave if you factor in their past performance.

HELELELELLE
Does anyone know if ULA will be launching the Vulcan from Vandenberg?
Probably some day but I haven’t heard an announcement yet
Hopefully since I can watch from my backyard. Are you on the launch alert email for Vandenberg?
Yes they will. They are currently working on updating SLC-3 to prepare to launch from Vandenberg.
@@odynith9356 nice! Thanks for the info.

Best of luck, team.
Wooooh! Let-rrrr-rip! 😁
And it's on RUclips. Yea.
Go Vulcan! Go ULA!
Can't wait.🙂
But can it land???
The suspense!☠️

Same old, trow away design.......this will be short lived also...... 🙃

rip Delta IV
T- 5 hours 30 minutes! Godspeed Vulcan!!!🚀

Go Vulcan! Go Centaur! Go Peregrine! Let's light this candle!
CCCP
🖖🖖
Hells yeh go big V love this rocket. Keep it up Tory. You got this!
Wishing you a successful launch! God speed.
Curious about the launch. Godspeed!
Estaremos juntos no lançamento desde Cuiabrasa Cuiabá MT Brasil
Good Luck, ULA and Vulcan.
my dad worked on this! i think anyway
I just love this rocket!
AAAH I'M SO EXCITED
Go Vulcan!!!!
Go Vulcan Centaur
Hell yeah
Gracias amigos 🤟🏿
😎😎😎
Best wishes. Not sure why the Delta IV clips were in the vid though.
Was wondering the same. Did Vulcan replace it?
@@brokenwrench404 yes, Vulcan replaces Atlas V and Delta IV Heavy Rockets

ready for launch

It’ll fly this year! - Tory Bruno 2019 … the real “Two weeks” villain
Dude, you clearly don't like ULA. Why frustrate yourself, being here? It's kind of sad to be honest.
That happens for literally every rocket, don't try and act like it only happens to one company or organization. Happens to SpaceX, NASA, Ariane/ESA, ISRO, JAXA, Blue Origin, etc. Development delays are just part of ambitious aerospace projects.
Welcome to the Aerospace industry, this is a common occurrence. Things dont fly till they are 100 percent ready.
Finally you are where SpaceX was 5 years ago
ULA is superior in every way fanboy.
@@robertpalmer3166 except in cost, operational capability, reusability and almost every other metric you can imagine.
Nope. Space X was flying reusables back then
@@robertpalmer3166At launching 3 times a year yeah.
Robert just can’t hide his Elon derangement syndrome.
'same reliability' is the claim even though it has never flown?
Most of the parts/systems that comprise Vulcan have already flown on previous Atlas and Delta rockets.
@@tagmisterb not the engines.

Have they though?
