Good luck ULA, Boeing!
Boeing is going to need all they can get.
@@ShortArmOfGodIsn’t it weird how the door cover blew off when transporting the capsule? From the same company that had their plane door blow off?
I'm happy you do the old mission profiles again. The one from Vulcan wasn't so nice.
Looking forward to a cloudless sky in South Florida Monday evening. Go Atlas, Go Centaur, Go Starliner. Thanks ULA, Boeing and NASA. Godspeed Butch and Suni.
Let's go ULA and Boeing! I wasn't even alive when Atlas did manned flights in 60s. What got me into spaceflight was Orion test flight on now retired Delta IV Heavy. It's awesome to watch the evolution of spaceflight and spacecraft over the years.
What is interesting is that even spacecraft in the 1960’s had autopilot.
Chances are pretty good that we'll be dead of old age before Boeing ever launches astronauts into space again.
Go Starliner!!!! Can't wait to watch tonight
That is awesome can't wait ❤❤
I hope you aren't holding your breath.
Goooooooo ULA!!!
Ruskie RD180 and the RL10 -- old skool, but they still get the job done. I would've never thunk it, but I'm kinda getting nostalgic for that sweet, mid-20th century expendable space hardware.
Don't think for a moment that I am not nervous about this flight.
Would be believable if you hadn't posted this exact comment elsewhere many times.
So what's your nervousness stem from ? Is it the fact that SpaceX will now be alternating NASA crewed missions to ISS with Starliner ?
Or is this an attempt to instill doubt in a SX competitors product.
@@Mity_MoNo, because Boeing has been a very rough company lately.
@@SpaceflightExplained I advise you to fly Airbus with it's crash rate. I strongly recommend you not fly for the rest of your life, to reduce the risk of your life and death. Avoid automobiles as well as that is the number 1 killer of people. And I advise that you never approach a road lest you be run over.
Best of luck ULA and godspeed CFT hopefully everything goes smothly like every ULA launsch so far
Gosh can some pepole just shut up for once and not complain that a rocket is expandebel
We're too busy being worried about the astronaut's safety to complain about the Atlas V being expended (which is still absurd: it's 2024, you'd think ULA would have figured out propulsive landing by now)
Bro most of the negativ comments are about Atlas V being expandabel and you yourself are one of the ones who mostly shits on Atlas V for not being reusebel and i wont argue about starliner cause i dont know much about it and also not being reusebel donst mean crap and also making Atlas V reusebel is remaking Atlas V not modifing it making Atlas V reusebel would also gratly effect its Performance
@@AerospaceAdler First of all, every heard of ".". It makes your sentences easier to read.
" i wont argue about starliner cause i dont know much about it"
But I do, and it should never fly with crew. Flammable tape, faulty parachutes, corroded valves, the list is seemingly endless.
"also not being reusebel donst mean crap"
Its 2024. Yes it does.
"Atlas V reusebel is remaking Atlas V not modifing it"
Yeah. I know. It needs to be retired because it is obsolete.
"making Atlas V reusebel would also gratly effect its Performance"
Not really. Maybe, without SRBs, it would have a payload of 6-7 tons, and a launch cost of ~30 mil, which is roughly 1-2 tons less than expendable and about 3x cheaper.
Higher energy orbits would, admittedly, suffer, but in 5-10 years, the vast majority of flights (excluding the 100s of starlink flights) will be LEO
Ok i mayby wrong about reusabillity. But still no dont having it still dosnt mean crap cost isnt everything safty in my opinion always goes over cost and also there are a bunsch of rockets that arnt reusebel that are good and that dont need to be reusebel for example SLS isnt reusebel dosnt need to be and it wouldnt benefit from it if you want to know why i say this check out David willis's video about that there are other examples like SLS by the way . And news Flash Atlas V will be retierd have you heard of Vulkan Centaur . And i wont still argue about Starliner i know next to nothing about it . Also yes my writing is bad i gotta admit that
@@bryanillenberg You do know that Atlas V is being retired right, in favor of Vulcan Centaur? While starting out fully expendable, like Falcon 9 was, it will be evolved over time to a partially reusable one where the engines will be recovered with the SMART system, allowing it to maintain high-performance, while achieving lower recurring costs. Centaur V can be evolved to use more ACES technologies to become a reusable space tug.
_But I do, and it should never fly with crew. Flammable tape, faulty parachutes, corroded valves, the list is seemingly endless._
This is hypocritical. Dragon suffered through a launch abort flaw that destroyed the original Demo-1 Dragon 2 capsule in April 2019. Had crew been aboard, they'd have been outright killed when the check valve was hit by a slug of frozen propellant, causing an explosion. Dragon 2 for years has also seen its share of parachute issues as well, and they also had the same issue with flammable tape, but quietly removed this around the same time as they were working the LES failure. In addition, the Draco thrusters suffered a series of problems about 2 years ago that delayed crew rotation flights several weeks.
Yeah
Let's goOoOO
Fly safe!
Contradiction in terms with Boeing.
i thought the starliner have nosecone for the main hatch that can be open and close without being jettison? or has that change?
Yeah I thought that too
The ascent cover is shown jettisoned. There is now an entry cover which protects the NASA docking system. That hinges open during docking.
@@cheesegoda so there’s both
Great Video ! Go Boeing Starliner, Go ULA Atlas 5 and Go NASA KSC ! This is a short Test Flight by the Boeing Starliner launched on the ULA Atlas 5 ! After this Test Flight to the ISS should be six Commercial contracted Flights of the ULA Atlas 5 with the Boeing Starliner carrying four Crew members to the ISS ! Also soon needed is a low inclination LEO CSS heading East from the KSC with a Fuel Depot nearby ! And NASA will finally get a second Crew launch provider to LEO for Crew SAFETY ! The Tech developed to return to the moon to stay, can take US and the world to Mars and beyond ! tjl
I think it will blow again
Rd-180❤
Who’s excited
🎉 0:36 very good i from argentinian launch 6 may
it's been a long while since atlas has carried people into space
KARMAN LINE MENTIONED
godspeed space potato
Randy Fergesun 1973 coined this phrase.
@@Mity_Mo he did? beat me to it. best of luck still, this craft's had so many issues I am legit scared for the crew. hopefully they get enough data to have the thrusters fixed this time
Godspeed, Capricorn One!🤣
Your voiceover dude, says that the ULA designed bulk fairing between Centaur and Starliner is 'aerodynamic' but like way before that he says that the rocket passes the Karman line... like before main booster jettison... is there like, air in space?
Nevermind, he was talking about the skirt. My bad.
Yea, space.
I hope this works flawlessly, ULA and Starliner are my favorites, too bad it dosent have the best track record... But I hope that changes!
ULA doesn't have the best track record? Please explain...
@@codymoe4986 I think he meant Starliner
ULA has a perfect track record, so does Atlas. Starliner does too, no crashes, no deaths.
As with all things space, a big yet is assumed in anything space.
@@Mity_Moboth of the uncrewed missions had giant problems. The first one literally couldn't even dock to the ISS and had to abort the mission. And now problems with hatches, parachutes etc. And ULA also definitely doesn't have a perfect track record
@@jachymf.5465 SpaceX's Falcon 9 blew up on the launch pad.
Hope the doors stay on this one…………
The ULA rocket wont be a problem vut don't be so sure about Boeings part
ula own 50:50 by Boeing and Lockheed Martin
Careful, Boeing designs the planes you fly in.. Perhaps not flying ever again may be the right thing as well.
@@Mity_Mo I choose airlines that fly exclusive Airbus now a days :)
@@docdat3468I don't fly JetBlue or Frontier.
@@alexrebmann1253 doesn't fly here
Boeing, get your act together!
He says as he boards the 737 Max.
@@Mity_Mo oh no, not this fella.
@@tomtomdishman4029 Come fly with me ...
Mission? Does it come with a laugh tract?
Animation from STK-AGI
yeah RL10 Centaur, historic number of flights
Where does the first stage land?
In the ocean as the Atlas V is an expendable launch vehicle.
Hopefully on a den of Muskrats...
@@foxmccloud7055 Hopefully in a few years SMART on Vulcan will recover the BE-4 engines and the engine section itself.
You forgot the part where they lose the door.
(Hope everything goes well! Godspeed starliner)
Разочарую Амазонку, монитор работает в цветах RGB. Тут белый формируется смешиванием основных Красного, Зеленого и Синего. Чем больше каждого, тем более белая картинка. Формат CMYK обратно противоположен - его задача затемнить белую бумагу до какого-то цвета. Причем объем возможной палитры CMYK в разы уступает палитре RGB
Best of luck ULA. Let's see if Boeing screws up yet another one.
That's a whole lot of discarded stuff
The door is attached with zippers!
No.
why not reusable?
Becouse Atlas V wasnt deigned to be reusebel. Also not reusebel dosnt mean bad
@@AerospaceAdler actually, not being reusable is basically the definition of bad for rocketry.
The Saturn V wasnt reusebel Was it bad? ,soyuz isnt reusebel is it bad? ,ariane V wasnt reusebel was it bad? . So no not reusebel is not a example of bad rocketry bad rocketry is being inefficent,blowing up and being unsafe
The Starliner capsule is reusable; in fact, this will be the second flight to space for this particular spacecraft, Starliner Calypso.
@@bryanillenberg Dude the first flight was in 2002
Another possible mission profile: Boeing finds an issue the day of the launch , blames a subcontractor and dragon fills starliner’s docking slot at the iss…
Sincerely hope not, but would not bet against it
2nd
Hmm
sooooo let me get this right. your goning to strap 2 humans into this untested not working right vehicle and try and launch it again when it has never worked right from the start 🤔 what could go wrong lol
Starliner is tested. It flew a flawless test flight last year
@@weekiely1233 it had all kinds of issues try again
@@tc539 no it didn’t.
It is tested.
@@tc539lil bro just saw his argument get disproven and he just plugged his ears and went “lalalalalalalala”
SPACEPEEN IS GO!
Let's just hope the doors don't fall off.
So much stuff just thrown away.
aint that the truth. its 50 plus year old tech they are selling aS new
god…. you people can’t appreciate anything - always finding a way to complain
@@OwnedBucketTheBucketManDo you agree to pay more for an old Pinto or a state of the art Mustang? That is what we are talking about.
@@tronziebit Funny, that seems to be the other way around with Starship. And several Falcon 9 launches have gone for more that Atlas V in the latest round of commercial contracts.
@@tc539 Its more like 25 year old tech. The rocket design isn't fixed, its evolved over time. Obviously someone who doesn't know anythign but what twitter tells them.
That looks like an orion
It’s between Orion and an Apollo CM in size
Who doesn't like a circumcised rocket!
Waste of taxpayers dollars. We need to stop this madness ... We need to build reusable vehicles and more cheaper.
I hear you. I think that this is an effort by the government to stimulate competition with SpaceX. The problem is, while competition is good for business as it lowers price and can increase quality, these effects are lost if the competition is artificial in a way where it would not be viable without outside intervension.
@@TheHatManCole actually, when the contract was released, SpaceX was the backup, "risky" option.
Now they've flown more last month than ULA did in the last few years
@@bryanillenbergIndeed. Often people forget that, had NASA been forced to choose only one provider, they would not have gone with SpaceX. Boeing seemed like the safe bet at the time. The fact that we’ve had commercial crew capability to LEO since 2020 is in large part thanks to NASA being able to pursue a strategy of multiple providers and dissimilar redundancy.
@@TheHatManColealso has big problems with airplane quality assurance as well. How come you can keep doing business with a mediocre corp like that. I am all in with fair clean competition, but I don't do it in this race.
@@bryanillenbergWinning the NASA commercial crew and cargo contracts is also a major reason why SpaceX has been able to grow to where they are today. The situation is almost the opposite of what @TheHatManCole said. NASA wanted to stimulate competition with the aerospace giants like Boeing and ULA, so they took a chance on an ambitious new upstart space company. Getting those major contracts early on-being ‘artificially’ enabled to compete with the established players-allowed SpaceX to survive and thrive. With the benefit of hindsight, I think we can safely say that NASA’s gamble has more than paid off.
