Congratulations ULA! for a historic first launch of Vulcan Centaur! What a flawless 1st mission of a beautiful new rocket. Also congrats Blue Origin for the flawless debut of the BE-4 engines! Go Vulcan! Go Centaur! Godspeed Peregrine and Celestis!
Congratulations. Musk and SpaceX zombies were all hoping that it will blow up, so they will go worship their God more and ask NASA to dissolve and give all money to their God.
Congratulations and Bravo Zulu to the entire United Launch Alliance team to include my good friend Paul Kirk who made this beautiful launch possible. Thanks to Blue Origin, Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems, and Aerojet Rocketdyne ( Pratt & Whitney ) for supplying the awesome engines for this launch! Also thank you to the United States Space Force and their Range Controllers of the Eastern Range, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, and Patrick Space Force Base as well! Long live the ULA Vulcan and may it have many successes in the future!! Go Vulcan, Go Centaur!!! 🇺🇸 🚀
The payload was damaged to the point that it can’t land on the moon. Also both Falcon 9’s and Falcon Heavy’s first flights were pretty much perfect too. Other than Starship that’s pretty much the norm with new American rockets of the last decade plus.
Congrats on your succesful launch!!🎊🎉 Of your Swiss army knife mission! Great job on Vulcan, there must be some Treckies in ULA 🖖🏻 Cannot wait for the landing and loads of DATA😎GREAT JOB SPOCK!!!
My understanding is the rocket was named after conducting a public poll with the choices including Vulcan, Zeus, Eagle, and some others. The fact that Vulcan won may or may not have been influenced by the fact that the poll was conducted not long after Leonard Nimoy had died.
I'm constantly amazed by your content, sparking my curiosity to dive deeper into the enigmas of the cosmos. Thank you for fostering my sense of wonder.
I had the honor of working on almost every aspect of this vehicle except the SRVs and the RL10 second stage engines. I even built 70%~ of the Peregrine Lander. I hope my baby makes it to the moon! Spent a LOT of hours on that thing haha nice to finally see her flying.
@illuveatar 🤣 I did NOT do avionics or engines lol I just did tanks and structure...and something else I did the majority of but I cannot say for anonymity reasons haha But unfortunately I do not work in the position to work on the next landers anymore. However I work at another company that will be the provider for certain things on the next missions. Cannot say who for anonymity reasons
@weekiely1233 these BE-4s I have done minor work for yes. Payload bay I don't believe so. Just the payload itself. Core Stage testing I was apart of. RIGOROUS hard-core testing on that core stage And no avionics work of any kind. Including Lander. Thankfully. Hate avionics cause you gotta follow ESD protocol haha Well I did a few sensors on the Lander but that's it. Had to follow ESD protocol on that not much
Great Job of the First Launch of the ULA Vulcan Rocket ! ! ! Go for the 2nd flight of the ULA Vulcan with the SNC Cargo Dream Chaser in April 2024 ! tjl
I can't wait. Congratulations. Musk zombies are crying. They were hoping to see this blow up, so they would go worship their God more and request NASA to dissolve and all the money to be funneled to their God.
One thing that's striking in comparison to typical Falcon SpaceX launches is how long the 1st stage burns on this rocket, it's almost twice as long. It makes complete sense they didn't pursue booster recovery since the speeds of the booster at engine cutoff would make recovery difficult at best.
Like a Falcon Heavy would do in some cases, though for this payload and destination it may not have to. “Falcon” isn’t specific enough - there’s Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, and depending on the mission they can be fully expended if necessary. But that’s the thing - they don’t have to nearly all the time. Vulcan’s are always expended no matter what they’re carrying or where they’re taking it - and for a brand new rocket design in 2024 that’s just sad.
@@willitstimothy2 there's not a lot that ULA could have done, without an independent ability to design their own engines. Once you commit to using something like an RD-180, AR-1, or BE-4 (i.e. 2-3 MN thrust), you pretty much have to build something the size of New Glenn to make VTVL work, the way Falcon 9/Falcon Heavy does it.
@@willitstimothy2 they have plans about recovering engines, but it's just a "plan". for low orbits (like LEO) then yes F9 and FH will excel. however, for high orbits (GTO, GEO, TLI, TMI), the hydrogen centaur stage will do better because it is more efficient. FH costs a minimum of $118m (2 boosters recovered, center expended) and can carry ~15 tonnes to GTO (according to everyday astronaut) but has only carried a maximum of 9.2 tonnes to date. makes sense - why tf would you have a GTO satellite that is over 10 tonnes... USSF paid ULA 1.3b for 11 launches, or $118.18m per launch. which configuration? idk. but either way the space force always overpays anyways and their offers for vulcan is less than their offers to FH (1.23b for 10 F9 & FH launches) so it's probably cheaper. when dream chaser launches ig we can tell how expensive it is commercially. so 3.3t/8.3t/11.6t/14.4t, likely a mix of all 4. prob not VC0 tho cause 3.3t to GTO gets you nowhere. so just assuming that most will be VC4 or 11.6t. so a rocket that launches 11.6t to GTO is cheaper than a rocket that launches 15t to GTO. seems p competitive to me.
Great to see multiple entities able to demonstrate the deep skills necessary to put things into a higher orbit. This is essential to many ambitions, such as restocking grocery store shelves.
Just remember that expendable rockets are the low hanging fruit of spaceflight. Re-usability is the future and it is far more challenging. (Otherwise, everybody would be landing orbital class boosters on barges in the ocean right now.)
This was no mere demo flight. This was a full up operational flight carrying a scientifically and historically important payload. Unfortunately, what DigitalGrease says is true and Vulcan, or ULA for that matter, probably won't be around much longer. The company is up for sale and one of the potential buyers is Blue Origin. My guess is they will buy it, transition as many of the present contracts as possible (Amazon Kuiper in particular) over to New Glenn, and only offer New Glenn for future contracts.
Well, I bet Tory Bruno, Dave Limp, Jeff Bezos, and even Bob Smith all gave out huge sighs of relief last night. Congratulations to ULA and Blue Origin on a perfect launch. Let's hope the Peregrine lander makes it all the way to the Lunar surface in good working order. The next launch s supposed to be the first flight of Dream Chaser, right? Boy, BO has managed to snag a couple of historic missions for its first two flights. Good for them!
This is a fantastic rocket. A proper rocket. This is what NASA should have built instead of that hugely expensive, impractical and dangerous Shuttle. I can’t wait for the reusable engine element with the inflatable heat shield to be incorporated too. Go Vulcan!!
Knowing them, it will end up being so expensive and impractical that it won’t be implemented. Also the the recovery method of choice is less likely to work than even the early fairing recovery approach SpaceX tried with minimal success. All I’m saying is optimism isn’t warranted here. They aren’t the kind of people to make something like that work.
Viper looks cool, but why build just one and not several at once? The incremental cost shouldn't be too much more and launch costs are falling rapidly.
Congratulations on a succesful launch! A question. When viewing the moment of launch. Is it my imagination? Maybe it is a matter of perspective but the rocket seems to tilt to the right in the first moments of the launch, which is corrected before clearing the launch tower
Congratulations - sort of. You still have a significantly more expensive rocket than the main competition though. After SRB jettison I was watching those spent motors tumbling away and it struck me as really weird that they’re just getting thrown away/dumped into the ocean. And then the same thing happened to the first stage and again it seemed very strange to think of that just getting tossed as well. In many ways this rocket is a new antique from the day of its first launch. Even your stretch goals for this rocket pale in the face of what we all know can be. So congratulations - you launched a rocket more or less perfectly, but I have to wonder what you really accomplished after all these years. Re-inventing the wheel isn’t necessarily a trivial task, but it also isn’t a significant one once you’ve done it - and I can’t help but think that you just demonstrated that sort of thing here in 2024.
As much as I might dislike it, credit where its due to Bezos and the rest of Blue Origin for getting these engines up and running. And of course congrats to the teams at ULA! Looking forward to seeing New Glenn fly mayyybe this year
Congratulations 🇺🇸💐🎊🎉👍🏻 The greatest minds within these United States have once again over delivered! Thank you all for the outstanding display of team work.. Such an inspiration!! 🇺🇸🦅👏🏻🙏🏻
@@kevinkelly3630 Awesome! To be honest, I assumed the U.S. government took a hard stand against international suppliers for the new program.. I did just read about a Swiss company supplying fittings/fairings for Centaur.
The greatest minds?!? They barely made the rocket. All the engines were subcontracted, and those are usually the most difficult and expensive components of any rocket. This rocket also doesn’t do anything outside the normal wheelhouse of a standard pre-2010s style rocket. It’s literally the same type of design with the same engineering and tons of reference points to work from. They made a new model of pretty much the same thing they’ve always made. It’s not trivial at all, but it also isn’t a symbol of what the brightest minds can do - for that you need to look at Falcon 9/Heavy - and hopefully Starship soon too! Electron and maybe someday Stoke’s rocket too. ULA is still just a tired old corporate underachiever with minimal ambition beyond maximizing near term cash flow.
@@willitstimothy2 I appreciate the information. Although the most expensive parts of the rocket have been designed to be recovered and reused which is a relief. Granted you've proved me right that the culmination of designs and use of sub contractor's have utilized the greatest minds in our country.
You guys need to improve the emissions....to make them more enjoyable....not saying are not....but definitely the others are better... Simulations are now outdated....we would like to see video 👌

So were the BE4's parachuted down or is that a later modification?

Interesting orbit, coming back to Earth for a quick visit.
congratulations (a long time coming), but speed+altitude permanently on screen and some more inflight video instead of CGI would have been nice.
Don't forget the Celestis mission!
Somebody's got to say it: the sudden, loud inserted RUclips ads are really annoying. I vote "no" on this new tactic by RUclips.
Something didn't look quite right at liftoff, appeared the rocket lifted off and veered slightly to the right.
It’s supposed to do that to clear the GSE tower. Most rockets with fixed towers do that too like Saturn V and Starship
