[SCRUBBED] Watch the LAST Delta IV Heavy launch EVER!

United Launch Alliance is launching the last ever Delta IV Heavy rocket for the NROL-70 top secret mission for the National Reconnaissance Office. ULA's Vulcan rocket is fit to replace both the Delta IV family as well as ULA's Atlas rocket.

EDA: Thank you! The Apollo launch was a fantastic reminder of my childhood and watching Apollo XVII liftoff from the pinnacle of the Banana River bridge . My friends become interested in manned space in 1961 with Alan Sheppard. I became interested in manned space in 1963, with the Gemini series. Later, while my friends studied their brains-out to become marketing analysts and aerospace sales people, I studied Physics and Medicine. Thank you for reminding me why I love space exploration! Today, I work for NASA at the Greenbelt, Maryland facility.

That intro was beautiful. Gave me the feels.

[@dcf476]

Intro video is off the charts! Bloody gorgeous shots and very well put together 😍

[@NehemiahVargas-td8kw]

7:27 people unfollowed someone followed you

[@philipwilliams7947]

Bruh...I saw the shuttle launch in the middle of the night, when i was off the coast of Virginia. I reported it to the bridge as a possible missile/rocket launch. Saw it was I was taking a smoke. Man, I miss the Navy days, lol

[@chrisbroadwell7031]

Nice audio Tim. You're audio guy doing a great job!

[@washellwash1802]

Ok, weird question. Suppose the launch is a failure and it blows up during ascent, do they still bother to investigate the cause? Or shrug their shoulders and go "Eh, it was the last one anyway."

[@justalonesoul5825]

At least for insurance reasons, they would most certainly have to investigate, but also for plenty of other reasons, quality assurance, engineering... Even if the odds are near-inexistant, imagine if it was a sabotage? They're mainly launching spy satellites for the Air Force, I'm sure the client would like to know what happened too... It's not the last rocket that the company intends on building and launching *ever*, so they really cant shrug the cause of a failure even if they're up to a new launching system now. They need to prove how much they can master their whole process and how reliable they are, so learning from failures is paramount. I'm no field expert but right off the bat this sounds the most plausible to me.

[@Milan-cy9bt]

I believe they would, a failed launch is a major opportunity to gather information on potential weaknesses of their spaceships. What I've learned from Elons Biography is that he and the SpaceX team are always willing to blow a rocket up, if they can gather insightful information from it, so I'd conclude they'd never let that go to waste

[@pspaces]

Your HEAT SHIELD COLOR CHANGING MUG has arrived (in Italy). Simply fantastic 😄🖐🏻

[@green2294]

It vents beautifully

[@dominicestebanrice7460]

The opening archive film footage with the new music overlay is superbly done; inspiring and evocative.

[@Major.Tom.1973]

I could watch that beautiful intro all day long 💜

[@LegalAlien682]

I was there during the scrub😭😭

[@hazelssandbox8335]

Sad that it was scrubbed and that the view count was low. It is also during the work day for most of the US though Edit: People are fighting in the comments

[@EMichaelBall]

Tomorrow afternoon will have better weather, too.

[@johndododoe1411]

It's a global Christian holiday remembering Jesus Last Supper with his 12 disciples, where he turns unleaven bread and wine into meat and blood for the believers, then tells Judas to go and do the deed that would get his human body slaughtered like a sacrificial lamb, then miraculously rebuilt in less than 3 days .

[@bigdogben]

Also really early hours in the southern hemisphere.

[@404NotFoundnginx]

@@johndododoe1411tf are you on

[@justalonesoul5825]

@@johndododoe1411 There is not a single day of holy week that is an official federal holiday, and there really isnt much (if any...) people celebrating or commemorating Last Supper, so what's your point exactly, except making some unwanted religious proselytism and displaying your knowledge of fantasy stories?

[@TheWebstaff]

Tim, Logitech makes some really nice silent keyboards!!

[@justalonesoul5825]

And Kleenex makes very decent tissues for the disruptive sniffing 😅

[@bigdogben]

I LOVE THOSE MERCURY ROCKET MODELS.

[@1LEgGOdt]

I'll have to look Southeast to see the launch

[@MitazasAlways]

is that delta IV heavy behind you below the everyday astronaut neon logo?

[@Stadtpark90]

Love the intro. Iconic. Admittedly I had half a bottle of wine, but still: what an intro. I’ve been making uncontrollable drunk noises all throughout.

[@enstoanstian1953]

Hearing the mission control comms makes the launch so much cooler, I really miss watching SpaceX launches

[@jonathanlamb2174]

Is this happening on Friday 3/29 still, or is Friday scrubbed too?

[@adeshshrivastav30]

Hey Tim.. Would you ever ride a delta 4 heavy, if given chance

[@justalonesoul5825]

Delta 4 heavy has never been rated for crewed missions so the question doesnt really make sense unfortunately. All it has ever launched is spy satellites, the Parker Solar Probe, and an unmanned test of the Orion spacecraft which is designed for Artemis missions and SLS.

[@FrederickMartinez-gh6gq]

They humbled Filly too smoothly

[@bobmat53]

Just want to thank you I love my coffee mug that mimic the heat shield hope to purchase one per month I like a set of four for myself and I purchase one for a great friend of mine

[@davidrogers9464]

I thought they had already done the last one like a year or 2 ago

[@alvianchoiriapriliansyah9882]

It was the last launch from west coast. This will be the last launch of any Delta IV

[@NickzAndMikz]

I did too.

[@garyc1384]

A rocket that actually works, unlike the toddler toy 'Starship'.

[@eXRay107]

Works great. Really, very great....yeah, it works amazing

[@eXRay107]

At SpaceX very rarely any launches are being scrubbed. They currently are also the only ones with a working crew capsule that has already carried out nine crewed flights to space. What does SpaceX have that all the others don't?

[@EverydayAstronaut]

SpaceX has launched 8 operational crews for NASA, plus the demonstration, three for axiom and one for inspiration four! They’re killing it. I think half of their success is their relentless pursuit to improve things no matter what.

[@ABrit-bt6ce]

Sell me that opening tune. I have your first Album.

[@chrismade123]

why is there talking sound so bad when asking those questions?

[@cosmicyeti6804]

Color me shocked

[@nick_pappagiorgio]

It's amazing how far we've come since this disposable rocket ULA used to charge the taxpayer $380 million for.

[@justalonesoul5825]

Unfortunately, if you take a close look at SLS costs, we may not have come *that* far, in reality... Wasting / embezzling public money is a national sport in USA. Not so much in science, NASA, space exploration, as in the militaroindustrial complex though, where the amounts are in hundreds of billions, not millions...

[@hessulipoika13]

Nasa lol, imagine what other could has astoblished with that money

[@justalonesoul5825]

What, like in the militaroindustrial complex, Boeing, Northrop Grumann etc?

[@stephenallen4374]

No one is going to buy ula

[@justalonesoul5825]

Blue Origin and its CEO Jeff Bezos have placed a bid, according to every source. And in February, Bezos unloaded a huge number of amazon shares to collect up to 9 billion $ cash. Wait&see.

[@paulpark1170]

Sorry but even that ULA countdown method is so “yesterday “… who still says “Roger Roger” anymore. You can tell these guys are still stuck in the Apollo Shuttle era.

[@johndododoe1411]

The rocket series is older than Apollo, using the old words is appropriate for this launch . The first version was the Thor Delta modification of the Thor missile . The latest is the temporary 2nd stage for the SLS modified Shuttle .

[@JEFFQUICKLE9]

How is Elon paying the salaries and wages to these hundreds of engineers and all other workers when there is no profit or money coming in for such a business?

[@georgeparrish]

Investors, starlink and other Spacex Launches and let’s not forget he’s worth near 275 billion. The last funding round raised almost $2 billion in private seed money investors

[@atomicviking2497]

You didn't need to make profit to pay for operations. Think about non-profits.

[@shagwellington]

Clickbait title. They didn't launch.

[@danielcattell88]

It says scrubbed in the title

[@multi_misa72]

Hopeless

[@justalonesoul5825]

Such negativity and unwarranted pessimism.

[@dickfitswell3437]

Why upload then? View chaser

[@johndododoe1411]

This was live, announced more than 24 hours in advance . I'm guessing the scrub happened too late to cancel . In those situations, Tim usually changes the title to scare away viewers, but still tells those that showed up about the situation .
