Bye, Delta. 1960-2024
Not really the delta from 60s is completely different
'Buy Mennen!'
@@harryvlogs7833 You're real fun at parties arent you?
@@AlphaGametauri yep
@@harryvlogs7833 You're also only correct if you ignore the context, the history and if you want to be a pedantic prick. Sure the components aren't the same, and it doesn't take a genius to look at the Delta IV heavy and see that it isn't the same as a Thor-Delta. But they are very obviously related in more than just name. The original Thor-delta used the LR-79, which when combined with two LR-101s becomes the Block 3 engine used in the Deltas, the RS-27 and RS-27a are essentially modernized LR-79s from the original block 3 engines. Those engines were used in form or the other from the first Thor-Delta in 1960, until the the Delta IV in 2002. Then the RS-28 was introduced in the first stage, but the upper stages were the same. Even the Delta IV Heavy, uses the same upper stage from the Delta III, only the tank is widened to 5m or so.
I will certainly miss the Big Ol' Rocket that does a burnout at liftoff.
Watch a Saturn 5 launch. Makes this rocket look like a toy.
@@roncaruso931 The Saturn 5 is in a class all its own.
I watched a lot of them on a black & white TV with Walter Cronkite voice-overs. Still stunning sights.
"Acknowledging mid-power level on the strap-ons" has to be the best line ever.
It's amazing how round the flat earth looks.
😂
In a round about way, I see what you did there 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉
Absolutely spot on!
@@leonglassglow3854Oh look, a religious crazy. Just out of spite, earth, earth, earth, earth.
@leonglassglow3854 -- I'm an old man of 77 and with my cancer and arthritis I'm lucky to be able to type anything on my Samsung tablet. Yes, flat Earth people have an answer for everything. One of my relatives believes the Earth is flat and all the other silliness that goes along with it; such as that we never went to the moon and the stars are just fixed lights on the big bubble that encircles the planet. It's strange that in every other way she is totally normal. She's fun to be around at family reunions but I avoid getting into discussions about the shape of the Earth. Cheers!
"The Delta rocket family was a versatile range of American rocket-powered expendable launch systems that provided space launch capability in the United States from 1960 to 2024. Japan also launched license-built derivatives from 1975 to 1992. More than 300 Delta rockets were launched with a 95% success rate." - Wikipedia
All of the new rockets, SpaceX rockets as well, stand on the shoulders of the Delta.
But it’s better not to go further in history) Otherwise it will turn out that all the rockets are on the shoulders of the Nazis. :D
@@Neront90 Nothing wrong with that! Regardless of where it started, History should still acknowledged regardless of the political structure it was under.
All the cars in whole world stand on FordT. That means that we must use again Ford T
@@Neront90 only if you arbitrarily end your jaunt through history in the 1930's. lol . Just pretend that Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and Robert Godard didn't exist.
@@lantrick But it’s better not to go further in history) Otherwise it will turn out that all the rockets are on the shoulders of the Chinese. :DDDDD
Beautiful rocket, end of an era ❤
Back in 2000, I shot video of Formula 1 cars going through the final turn during the second practice session of the United States Grand Prix at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The 3 liter V-10s of the time turned over at more than 19,000 rpm and made about 150 dB. When I watched the video later, I noticed a shimmer in the image as the cars went by, and realized it was from the intense sound vibrating the camera CCD. I see the same effect in this video from the launch site cameras, only FAR greater.
Very interesting
I was there in 2002. I can still feel that sound burrowing into my brain 🧠 😵💫
The end of an era
SpaceX brought that era to an end.
You make all of the country proud.
Kerbal is really stepping their game up
Graphics are wild now!
I don’t understand how they can launch a vehicle like that, but somehow cant give the guy a microphone pickup that works reliably.
I don't understand how they can launch a vehicle like that, but somehow cannot cure cancer. 😥
@@craigme3014they don’t want a cure. Profits will vanish.
@@craigme3014 That is not how cancer works. Cancer is not something that can be "cured". You can only treat it. Cancer is a genetic disease.
There is hope for cancer prevention, like CRISPR that can do live gene-editing (human cancer trials are going on right now!), and MRNA tech (also has cancer-treatment human trails going on right now!), both show extremely good outcomes through tests and experiments.
We might have a future where cancer detection happens faster, and a little bit of gene-editing over the course of a few weeks will get rid of the cancer cells. We are a decade or so out though.
@@takl23 Not true, better cancer treatment is far more lucrative, which is why cancer treatment centers put billions into finding faster and better ways to treat cancer. Cancer treatment today is costly, and effects everyone rich and poor.
CRISPR and MRNA tech are more than likely going to make treating cancer a small inconvenience over a few weeks of gene-editing. It would be cheap, easy, and medical companies around the world are already paying a fortune to get it rolling out. Both treatments are in human trails this year, and both looking extremely promising.
@@takl23”They.” Ooooohhhhh 😱
Don’t you realize that a customer who doesn’t die of cancer is more profitable than one who does?
Good to see a ULA launch!
That is it, no tricks in the bag left
Wow. Crazy to see, after all these years, the space origin dragon heavy ship take off from cape carnival one last time. Great job Jebediah. Now come on home.
The ‘impossible’ perspectives made possible by state of the art cameras never grows old.
Farewell you beautiful beast ❤
Very nice
Phenomenal
Yes ladies and gentlemen, as you can see the earth is round, not flat!
Congratulations to the workforce on a beautiful launch!
To my knowledge, some thrusters of the Delta project still used hydracine. That has gone as well.
That would explain the crackle in the rocket noise. Similar to the f-16
@@fyrman9092hydrazyne is just an emergency fuel for the F-16 - very few people have heard that noise…
I thought it was eco friendly hydrogen engine? Wasn't that the whole point of a Delta rocket? or am I missing something?
Disposable lighter. A torch style lighter, but still disposable. The end of an era of rocketry.
Bye Bye Baby ❤🚀
Pros make it look easy… 😎
On initial fireup check the materials around the engines.
Crazy how slow it seems compared to the Space Shuttle, Initial acceleration
Solid rocket boosters give a Hell of a kick, is the difference I think
Delta had less “engines” for one (counting the SRB’s as engines) and the RS68 is the simplified (less DV) version of the RS25.
And as noted, the SRB’s produce a shitload of thrust, 2,6Mil lb’s each at liftoff, so even with the shuttle almost being 3x heavier than a Delta Heavy at liftoff, those plus the RS25 give it a real kick in the pants.
go delta
ah, my favorite rocket
Hello:
Where can I find the recent history of the fuel that fuels the platforms and rockets that go into space?
Is it possible that over time the components of that special fuel have been changed?
Thank you!
BCN
Those thrusters look like they were getting toasty.
Is it me or does this final D-IV look like a giant middle finger flying off into space?
Lol now I can't unsee it
It's for the flat earthers.
@@IkeTurner-zd6jz 😁👍
Gonna miss those big as* single engines!
RIP, RS-68!
The Mighty 𝐑𝐒 68𝐀 ✊🏻
Too bad we have to listen to somebody talking instead of hearing the engines on the pad and shortly after!
I know right. Commentators patting everyone on backs and rocket is only 3 feet in the air. Why not wait until 5 min later!
@@Freedom1776usaThey treat each launch as an opportunity to out-do Neil Armstrong, trying to say something profound for posterity. I would much rather listen to the Launch Director channel.
YES!!! I hate listening to launches with PAO commentary.
yes bro the commentators keep yapping its annoying
@@JBM425If they acted like Shorty Powers back in the day it would be cool, but no. They have to gush about how amazing wonderful and awesome everything is.
The Strap Ons😂
I get excited everything he says "strapons"
Yeah! LMAO 😁😜🤭
I'm curious what innovations in rocketry they made in those 60 years.
R.I.P Delta. Atlas is next on the copping block :(
A nice way to blow my old KRK rokit speakers and say good bye.
Does the PAO always interrupt the LD?
Porque no deja la estela que dejaba el transbordador? Combustibles diferentes?
With two 'Stra-pons' you are not easily forgotten..............
Do they use any lube?
What caused the intermittent breakup of audio?
Bye Delta!
Delivering Hot Pockets to the International Space Station?
No spy satellites
Hot Pizza 😂
@@Metalle that too
Goodbye Delta 🙋♀🐰
Ticker DXYZ
Too bad nobody could enjoy the pure sound of the final liftoff because the woman wouldn't shut up.
We need Delta V for the memes
Falcon 9 • Starlink 6-48 which direction will it travel?
Up.
The production of this particular rocket shouldn't have ended till the Vulcan-Centaur had proved itself definitively (One launch even successful is not enough).
It was too expensive. Atlas is still going however.
the engines came from russia. We haven’t been able to get any more since the contract expired a couple years ago.
@@providentpathfinders219 RL-68 on delta 4 are from aerojet rocktdyne. The RD180 on the Atlas are from Russia.
@@AnthroAerospace It maybe expensive but until the replacement has proven itself reliable it should be produced.
@@providentpathfinders219 What I don't understand is why didn't Rocketdyne produce the RD-180 under licence? That option was available to them when the deal was made in the 1990s.
😍
Throttle down on the strap-ons😮
But can those strap ons make the rocket get all the way to Uranus?
💀
What’s with the voiceover. Let’s hear the mission comms
Please mention mission type..
Sending a roughly $30 Billion US Space Force intelligence satellite into orbit
@@ryandickson2224 how many satellites ???
Probably just one, but we don't know since the NRO classified this mission.
Why are they rushing to decommission the Delta IV? Replacement has not yet proven its reliability.
Wow when did this start? I just found about it. Very excited to see more launches.
Read the title Bud. Last flight of this particular rocket.
@@L_3551 that’s a shame looked like a fine rocket
If only delta 3 worked out. 9srbs
why does the booster connection look like it was burning? that ISNT shadow. that looks like scorching.
"strapon separation"..... tee hee
Speaking as Sargeant Schultz from Hogan's Heroes: 'I know nuthink!'
Delta six? @0:40
Did someone bet Rob that he couldn’t incorporate the term “Strap On” into the launch report today?
I had many successful flights as a kid using Legos
I'll more than likely never see any rocket, with the word 'heavy' in its name in particular, launch in person. Too bad, l imagine it would be incredibly impressive. To say the least.
Will this rocket be replaced by the vulcan centaur?
Yes
Yes also by the Starship!
Question I have is what is the payload?
Satellite for the National Reconnaissance Office.
o7 DELTA 4
Over 250 MILLION dollars of rocket dropped into the ocean. What a colossal waste of money. What a shame.
yup spacex ftw
Eh, reusability needs to be done something like a dozen times before it’s cost effective, and hundreds of times to make the R&D worth it. Plus, I don’t think the organizations that buy these things are _too_ concerned with cost.
Look at Falcon 9 sending 90% of earths payload to orbit because of the efficiency @@oberonpanopticon
It’s more than that! $410 million for a launch of Delta IV Heavy
To echo what someone else said I think the contract saw no consideration for the cost..Also, it could be a : "Hey, we have it, so lets use it" type of mindset from ULA?? Dunno, don't really care..It was a magnificent launch!
Full flight? I see a cut before orbital insertion...
ULA's last launch?
Last Delta flight
Are we not going to talk about the fire near the rocket
That’s normal
did he really have to keep referring to the side boosters as strap ons?
😂😂😂
Can we also end propaganda statements at launches?
Strapons? Probably should have called them something else???
Yeah,that insulation fire is troublesome.Never happened during the saturn V days.Elons Starship is just a joke with that silly cowling and the trapped gases.
Geil machine!
Bye joe 😊
3:11 What's going on there? That joint is leaking some sort of sooty substance. Don't look right.
it's fine. Just an older, less efficient design.
Only just enough thrust ..😂
SpaceX learn from the pros 😂
The purpose of this rocket was??? Cost tons of money and only able to be used once???? OLD TECH. SPACE X is the future
Did he say ‘strap on’ ?😅
Does it seems to be flying at the escape velocity of earth i.e. 11.2 km/s???
Yes. It's obvious.
o7
He said…..strap ons…😂
Ohhh, OK
Using a traditional propeller rockets with ocean splash recovery.
Don't you ever wonder how the Camera stays right with the rocket wake up.
It's called a tracking camera, similar to the ones used in sports tournaments when following players running around.
@@abes_creations HA HA HA OH OK NOT BUYING HAT YOUR SELLING.
No, but I do wonder how flat earthers and/or space deniers manage to use phones, television, and the internet-all of which rely upon satellites orbiting the globe in space-without their brains imploding.
Derp derp 😂 kooker
You'd think they would have found someone with a voice that doesn't sound like an eight year old boy.
Seriously. All she was missing was that hideous trailing upspeak: “… and closing Delta’s six decade legacy of excellence in space … riiiieeeeggghhhhtt?”
Must be a hell of a lot of debris floating around earth by now. All these parts just come off and float in orbit. Some re-enter and burn up but a lot dont.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
More Cartoons 😂
Looks wonderful for the Environment.
It burns liquid hydrogen and oxygen, which means that the exhaust consists of water vapour plus some unburnt hydrogen since the engines run fuel rich.
Even if it burnt RP-1 (kerosene) like the SpaceX Falcon 9 does, its total CO₂ emissions would be comparable to those from a _single_ long-distance flight with a Boeing 747 or A380.
I was born in 2004, this rockets entire career took place in my lifespan thus far, I'm going to go have an early mid life crisis in the corner now...
Recon eh? Do you mean CIA spy camera stuff?
Is it me, or should the OUTSIDE of the rocket boosters NOT catch fire!? 🤣🤪🤣
It's you
this rocket has ALWAYS done this. There is a Scott Manley video on the subject as to why.
Believe it or not, that's by design! These engines run on liquid hydrogen, which means hydrogen will be bled out a little before the engines start. The hydrogen that is now surrounding the rocket is lit by the sparks from the launch pad prior to launch, burning it away in a spectacular fire. Yes, it looks precarious, but it's how the Delta IVs launched!
Are these boosters recoverable to stop dumping space junk into the planet’s oceans?
I think so
wonderful start and launch Space X🎉🎉🎉❤Elon and Family😊
This wasn't spacex. this was ULA sending up a US Space Force Intilligence satellite with the last ever Delta Heavy rocket. It looks similar to the Spacex Falcon Heavy but they are very different
@@ryandickson2224 Well, not *similar* really, but they do have the same three-core idea!
Looks like this is from 1960
They couldn't livestream video at this quality in the 60s
Ooo ISRO copy rocket haha
