Cue Sad Trombone

ULA's Delta Heavy failed at the last second again.
 
How embarrassing for them.

Marv says it takes a week just to replace the sparklers on the pad for another try.

Proving how catty he is, "Space X should turn around a Falcon booster in 7 days just to rub ULA's nose in it!"

On the plus side, I got some decent pics of a couple of constellations while I was outside not seeing a rocket clear the horizon.

  1. Well, at least they didn't lose the payload.

    Have not liked ULA for a loooong time. They could have been innovating, creating, advancing the state of commercial rocketry, but... nooooOOoooooo. They had to screw the USA and the US military so bad that back-door discussions with Musk occurred as soon as they got an achievable Falcon 1 launch.

    Dumbasses.

    Still haven't seen anything real out of Sierra Nevada, Blue Origins, Virgin Galactic...

    But SpaceX is making and purposely breaking Starship and Super Heavy pieces parts and advancing at a rapid rate while everyone else is... doing what?

  2. Was watching the SpaceX video feed - too cloudy outside to see a thing. It self-aborted with 15 seconds to go, due to sensor on the ground that looked too different from the rest, what they call an "out of family" error. They're supposed to launch a GPSIII sat. tomorrow night. It would be cool to see them launch two Falcon 9s in one day. IIRC, it's supposed to be one 9:30 PM so they could do a morning launch and evening launch. One from LC 39A and the other from LC 40.
