What a cocktease

Basic cargo transportation of military satellites isn't really science, but okay.

Why do I love ULA so much? It's pretty simple when I think about it. ULA isn't just the best launch provider in the country; they might just be the greatest launch provider of all time. Just imaging the Altas V riding through the skies of Earth, the wind on its fairing, the mighty RD-180 below it. As she rides through the red sky, NASA swoons at her very scent. They know how she smells; the essence of burning RP-1 smell is sold in Orlando under the name of "Space Orgasm." The very nature of ULA is mystery. Could they be playing a deeper game than even Tory Bruno realizes? The answer is yes, ULA has transcended such boundaries as the physical world, and has free will to do whatever they sees fit. However, ULA is filled with such guile, such arcane craft that they does not even use these powers. Why, you might ask? You will never know, for the mind of the ULA is not one that is easily penetrated. ULA rockets are such a force of nature in this realm that nothing can truly touch them, the only thing keeping them bound to this world at all is their will to exist within the preordained boundaries understood physics. ULA is not only beyond the comprehension of us, it exists within a plane of true focus and beauty. Observe the plume of exhaust gasses from this Delta IV, the gorgeous and rippling flames, the gallant fairing, and most importantly, its engines. Her engines, like cauldrons straight from hell, provide the only glimpse into the true machinations of ULA. Do not stare into them. Many good men have gone mad in the attempt. ULA is not just a launch provider, a formless collection of engineers and rockets; they are themselves the binding that holds the word together. Without ULA, Musk the Menace takes over and the entire space industry as we know it crumbles. The Mississippi would stop flowing without ULA, Kessler syndrome would take over in orbit, and the space station would fall without their fiery gaze. These are just of a few of the reasons why I like ULA so much.

I like it. You nearly convinced me you were really employed by the ULA, but you weren't realistic enough.

faulty sensor is what I'm hearing. They have a 40 minute launch window to figure it out.

wait wtf this isn't spacex

>Being an engineer's pretty fun!
I'm glad he used some astronomy terms though: astronomy is fun and easy to understand.

BILL! BILL! BILL! BILL!

RUSSIANS HACKED THE SENSOR

They're waiting for more youtube viewers.

it's also a ULA rocket so it's not like burning rocket bits will come crashing down near the coast

An aircraft. I see.

it isn't like they GET a 40 minute window, it is that Atlas V is so overpowered they can MAKE a 40 minute window.

From where? Had a pretty decent view from ORL

Wish I had a better camera for one a few years ago that launched close to sunset. The sun lit up the smoke trail and it was glowing , really cool

I want to go to Playalinda beach for one , it looks so close to the pad

>>8617666
Near Fort Lauderdale, in Broward county. It's just an orange dot in the sky with a trail, but it's still fun to see.

alot of sexual tension between these two

>>8617684
>>8617666
I meant the dot thing about where I live. Your image is neat, as the trail is so bright.
Even though I live even further away, I've been pondering taking a photo with a telephoto lens.

satellite separated, end of mission.
