And the award for the most pointless thread on 4Chan goes to:

SAY IT WITH ME

>I've seen more than one Delta IV heavy launch
Not many can say that

looks cool i guess

>rocket has been on the pad for so long that the ground equipment has begun rusting away to the ravages of time

Imagine a thousand years from now, civilization has collapsed, cities abandoned, only a few million humans remain worldwide. A group of roaming bandits crossing the wasteland that was once the United States comes across a massive orange structure, clearly not natural. There it stands, the Delta IV Heavy, still on the pad, patiently waiting, hoping, for the day to come when it can finally blast off up to the stars.

POSITIVE THOUGHTS, BROS :) :) :)

Despite the memes, I do hope that this launch works without issue

>0% chance of violation
can't wait for them to blow this

why is this launch numbered 44 when 101 already launched?

Forgive me. I was a retard and I just joined in as they were showing a launch overview and I thought it was the real thing.

/sci/ is a bunch of hypocrites. you shill for spacex so much that you act like a tin can crashing into the ground is some big success and then you ignore america's PROVEN heavy launcher sending a REAL payload to ORBIT

>>12450657
That's all bureaucratese to disguise the fact that the nerds in the art department wanted a howling wolf on the mission art.

OH LORD

PLEASE DON'T LET THIS ROCKET EAT MANURE

Starship wasn't delayed 8 times for 8 different reasons to lift up a payload that it was specialized to carry

Redpill me on the ULA sniper.
Did he job yesterday?

Hydrolox, not memethelox, is the fuel of the future? Why? It's simple:
>It's the most efficient
>It's the cleanest (exhaust is just water)
>It can be made from water, which is found on every planet
>Delta IV Heavy proves that SRBs are not necessary
In a world where pollution becomes a bigger issue each and every day, you cannot beat the clean blue flame of a hydrolox rocket.

>ULA steam t-6 minutes
>NSF stream t-15 minutes
??

>ULA launched the first Earth climate monitoring satellites that fueled the climate change narrative

>>12450690
ULA holds at T-4:00 for a defined amount of time for some retarded reason

Shuttle did something similar IIRC. Why not just extend the countdown normally?

Huntsville is actually a pretty neat place. It's full of old space companies, but it's still nice to be somewhere with tons of aerospace engineers.

>>12450713
Typical oldspacing

If it fails again, someone put it out of its misery.

>>12450724
Launch polls are based though. It's not as exciting without it.

COUNTDOWN HAS RESUMED COUNTDOWN HAS RESUMED

>>12450732
It's a top-secret payload. They aren't allowed to unstack it. It's going to launch or RUD.

>>12450738
I don't care man, someone just blow it the fuck up. That rocket won't fly, put it out of its misery.

>>12450734
Agree, just commenting on the hold

When is the landing burn? Are the boosters gonna RTLS or land on drone ships?

Neat. I thought this was a meme

By Allah we will bury ULA under the rubble of our glorious Starship!

>ULA replaying video of the video projection on the Delta
it's mind-blowing this was the same rocket all that time ago

Well, it's almost the end of an era for this this particular rocket.

So much America in this presentation. Beautiful.
