regex Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Oh wow, I did not know that the RD-180 throttled. Interesting. Now I need to build an Atlas V in RO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatterBeam Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Its interesting to watch another space launch doing live webcasts, other than SpaceX. Its much more formal with ULA, with many uniformed men Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son and I watch as many as we can---we watched one ULA launch, and the particular launch either didn't have onboard video, or it ceased after SRB sep, and they went to animation. He said, "No more video?" to which I answered, "No." He then said, "This doesn't land, either, right?" To which I also answered, "no." He said, "Not interesting." and went back to what he was doing before the launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tater Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 Years ago I felt the same way about non-shuttle launches. We set up NASA Select sat tv in the office at the U (we put a dish on the roof, lol), and we'd watch launches, but we were pretty "meh" on Delta, Atlas, etc. by comparison they seemed tiny, and boring unless the payload was a probe we were rooting for.

Ultimate Steve Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I would normally stay up for anything but unfortunately it's a school night and I'm actually feeling tired enough that I feel like I should go to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
