Ai chat bot suggested this was worthy topic of dicussion........ 'David Bowie was an English singer, songwriter, musician, and actor. He was born on January 8, 1947, in London, England, and passed away on January 10, 2016, in New York City, US 1. Bowie was a leading figure in the music industry and is regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century 1. He was acclaimed by critics and musicians, particularly for his innovative work during the 1970s 1. His career was marked by reinvention and visual presentation, and his music and stagecraft had a significant impact on popular music 1.
Bowie developed an interest in music from an early age. He studied art, music, and design before embarking on a professional career as a musician in 1963 1. He released a string of unsuccessful singles with local bands and a solo album before achieving his first top five entry on the UK Singles Chart with “Space Oddity,” released in 1969 1. After a period of experimentation, he re-emerged in 1972 during the glam rock era with the flamboyant and androgynous alter ego Ziggy Stardust 1. The character was spearheaded by the success of “Starman” and album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, which won him widespread popularity 1. In 1975, Bowie’s style shifted towards a sound he characterized as “plastic soul,” initially alienating many of his UK fans but garnering him his first major US crossover success with the number-one single “Fame” and the album Young Americans 1. In 1976, Bowie starred in the cult film The Man Who Fell to Earth and released Station to Station 1. In 1977, he again changed direction with the electronic-inflected album Low, the first of three collaborations with Brian Eno that came to be known as the Berlin Trilogy 1. “Heroes” (1977) and Lodger (1979) followed; each album reached the UK top five and received lasting critical praise 1. After uneven commercial success in the late 1970s, Bowie had three number-one hits: the 1980 single “Ashes to Ashes,” its album Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps), and “Under Pressure” (a 1981 collaboration with Queen) 1. He achieved his greatest commercial success in the 1980s with Let’s Dance (1983) 1. Between 1988 and 1992, he fronted the hard rock band Tin Machine before resuming his solo career in 1993 1.'
Is there anything else I can help you with?
I heard a very loud rumble and wondered what the heck it was. I checked on flight radar and it bugged me and turns out it was this guy. Pretty loud, I’m a good distance from the coast.
Same.but I was watching it, I’m in sorrento and heard it
@@rjgreen91 Further inland than I am! I’m between Union Park and Bithlo. I was so bummed when I found out I missed a launch I can see them from my backyard and night launches are always a treat. Gives credibility to the old stories I heard about people in downtown Orlando hearing the old Saturn V’s taking off.
He’s a pretty big boy. Wait till they start launching starships from the cape
@@alexlabs4858 That’s what I’m really looking forward to. I missed the first launch of the really big SLS. I love Super heavy rockets. I can’t imagine being in Titusville lol
Does flight radar actually show rockets launching on the map.
Congratulations ULA on a beautiful successful Launch. The Decatur, Alabama ULA Plant is sure proud! Great doins today!
Some cremains of my late husband Brian ONeill are on that flight. I booked it 7 years ago when he passed. Shine on you Crazy Diamond. True love never dies ❤️❤️
That's beautiful ^^
Thats amazing! :')
Congratulations on a successful launch team!
Congratulations ULA!
It's great to see how well this vehicle performed on its maiden flight. The Be-4 engines performed nominally continuing to fire until almost 5 minutes. This will be a big boost for Blue Origin when it is ready to fly New Glenn for the first time which may be within a year.
It will be exciting to watch this launch of the Peregrine lunar lander through to its touch down. This is quite an ambitious flight for the first Vulcan launch. Impressive!!
Blue did an amazing job with the BE-4 engines. They operated as advertised - that is all that anyone could ask. Love the blue plume!
New Glenn "could launch within the year" for the last 4 years lol. Starting to doubt it will ever happen

Great Launch ULA...Nice to see Bruno in the flesh...Nice Christmas Tree topper eh?
This is not only a good launch for ULA but also blue origin since it shows that their hardware can and will operate well in space
That’s a great point! Very proud of Blue for their major contribution to Vulcan’s success. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
BE-4 engine
🎉congratulations the first certification Vulcan centaur launch 🚀 😊👏🙌🥂🍾
Great to see this new launch vehicle successfully lifted off the ground with the new lunar lander!!! United Launch Alliance in my opinion always does such a great job building their launch vehicles and successfully launching them!!!👍👍
Congratulations ULA, and Blue Origin BE4, it performed as stated!!!!!!
Let's not forget that as well as the first launch of Vulcan and first fight of the BE4 engine, this was also the first successful orbital fight with a Methane powered rocket, beating Space X.
Not the first, ZhuQue-2 did it twice

That was Vulcan beautiful!
Awesome
ULA has never lost a payload. What a streak.
BEAUTIFUL LAUNCH!!
Congratulations on a launch well done!
I watched Peregrine Lunar Lander being built last May in Pittsburgh. How magnificent! Congratulations on successful launch. Praying for successful moon landing.
Congratulations to Blue Origin for developing its own rocket engine which performed flawlessly! ULA great launch!
Everything looking good!
Bravo ULA! Bravo!
Look at that Vulcan thing go!
Nailed it.
Congratulations!
Congratulations, amazing job well done, lot of hard work behind, my respects!
Nice animation
THAT WAS AWESOME!🚀🚀🚀🚀
Congratulations for Blue Origin teams !
Its ULA not blue origin

Thanks!
congrats
Good luck 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
That methalox plume is stunning
Congratulations 👏
These summary videos are always great. Shared the link on LinkedIn. Thanks for doing these!
Beautiful launch. I wonder if that initial tilt immediately after lift off was an intended pad-clearing maneuver or not
LETS GO VULCAN
Glad to see ULA finally bring in Vulcan and enter into the new rocket age
Re: “finally” tbh it really wasn’t ULA’s fault that it was so delayed, it was all Blue Origin being really slow to deliver the BE-4 engines
Congratulations to all the sons and daughters working on this project....mine included....
Second methelox rocket was reached orbit, and first rocket was reached orbit, with first flight. Congradulations, ULA, Blue Orgin, NASA and Aerojet Rocketdyne!
And Northrop Grumman for the two GEM 63XL solid rocket boosters.
@@SciNewsRo Of course, we will mention them as well. Thanks for the reminder.
First rocket that reached orbit with first flight? Maybe first American rocket. Both china and Russia has successful rocket on first launch. Maybe Europe, Japan and India too from what I have heard
The comment was about launch vehicles powered by methane and oxygen, not all rockets.
Go ULA. TFS, GB :)
A long-desired sigh of release, eh? Kudos.
I heard the mission was having issues with possible issues with the moon landing.
In regards to the enterprise memorial mission is there any issues with that ?
excellent
Congratulations
I’m surprised I didn’t see eulage exhaust from Centaur before it ignited. What did it use for eulage, cold gas?
Do you mean ullage? The ullage at start of burn is composed of a mix of helium and the gas phase of the liquid in the tank.
There is (I think) a quick chilldown of the engines with some of the cold propellant to get the lines and system thermally conditioned for the engines to start. It is dark, but you can still see it start a few seconds before RL-10 (the two Centaur engines) ignition.
But the ullage doesn’t typically vent before engine start - at least I don’t think it does. I am much less familiar with Centaur and upper stages than I am with Booster, but I do know a little about Centaur…
What was the sparks that kept dropping away from the booster during ascent? Ablative nozzle on the BE-4 maybe?
When exactly in the video?
@@Matthew35333 its pretty much throughout. We call them firefly’s in the jet business. I will give a timestamp
It came from the SRB's
It’s just larger chunks of solid propellant from the solids. It happens at time.
What? No telemetry? Come on, man. That's how you get people interested
What is your interest worth? Go back to worship Musk the fraud.
"That's how you get people interested"
They don't need to get people interested, just the companies that need their services.
SpaceX's market value is entirely in their share-price and that depends entirely on how the public perceive them. They want to maintain an image of being slashy and high-tech so they add camera's to everything and give detailed telemetry. Sadly, now that both starships have exploded, that same telemetry has show exacty where Starship's problems are and SpaceX did not want you to know that.
You may have noticed that SpaceX nolonger stream on YT at all, and only do low-quality coverage on Twitter. Have a wild guess why they don't want you to have this information anymore.
@@vinny142
I hate to break it to you, but spaceX is a private company they don't need appease public investors.
@@vinny142 Basically, Fraud. 1) Creating a perception of a successful company even though no money is made. 2) do an IPO with an astronomical price, even though the valuation will never be justified, 3) keep the valuation high using 1) and announcing more products that nobody will be talking about again in 10 years.
Great engines Blue Origin its been get too work on them engines. Glad I had the opportunity to do so.
It ula not blue origin
It is part blue origin who do you think made the 2 main engines (be4) that powered the rocket.
@@rodrigolefever2426 We built the main 2 engines BE-4s so yeah it is Blue Origins success also.
@@rodrigolefever2426 The BL4 engines are Blue Origin. Without them, they wouldn't be this flight.
@@jamiehampton6473 Congratulations for the great job. A lot of SpaceX fans and Musk zombies came here hoping to see it blow up. So they could go back and cheer their God, while mocking Bezo.
Did it not pitch and slightly drop right after liftoff or am I seeing things? If it did do that can someone with more knowledge be able to tell if that is normal? Other then that the launch looked great
Normal.
They kinda slide away from the launch tower at a slight angle intentionally. Not uncommon.
@@JOlivier2011nearly every vehicle does it in some way, some more aggressive than others. Even Saturn V pitched away from the tower which looks scary given the sheer size.
These BE-4s worked
Fast rocket
Awesome result for a first launch! Hey SpaceX, hope your take a lesson here!
SpaceX has launched more mass to orbit than the rest of the world in 2023, you might want to do some research before making a top company look bad.
The first large methane rocket to reach orbit!
Looks like the 1968 Saturn launch!😊
Congratulations, ULA! Any successful launch of a new rocket from the U.S. benefits our country’s leadership in space.
Correct. NASA, SpaceX, Blue Origin, ULA, when any American Rocket launch succeeds, we all win.
Slept through this Launch, didn't wake me up....
Nice rocket launch. But please choose a different launch time. You woke me up and I'm in Orlando.
Too bad a fuel leakage has occurred today and the mission is technically over...
Nice to see a Vulcan launch into space!
Were the Klingons upset? We all know how emotional they can get...
Just asking: Was everything looking good?
Appears to be so 🚀
Big Cons! Despite I’m SpaceX fan, I dare to say; Respect!
You are fan of companies? Is that a football team?
We all cheer for each other, it is the way it is, It Is The Life.
"I dare to say; Respect!"
With how most SpaceX fans behave on YT, it is indeed daring to show respect to a competitor. 🙂
@@vinny142 SpaceX and Musk zombies came here hoping to see the BE4 blowing up, so they could go back and worship their God even more while insulting and mocking Bezos. Those zombie creatures are not cheering for each other. For them, everything must disappear and all the money must be given to their God.
@@LuisSantiago-vi9ut It’s for me “Great America” when competitors are fair enough to congratulate for being successful and feel compassion when not
As Buzz Lightyear said in Toy Story:"To Infinity and Beyond!"
Good luck, ULA! Bye-bye, РД-180)
How long will it take to get to the moon?
Depending on the flight path at least three days. If it follows a more fuel efficient trajectory that could add a day or two.
👍
Bruno Mars must b proud today
Think u meant tory Bruno
No telemetry 😮😢
Conversely, it was also the last Vulcan launch😂😂😂
Rising from the ashes of mismanagement engineers win again.
Congratulations, ULA! "Things cook better with gas." ;p
thank you fnaf community
I'm losing my Vulcan mind❤ Doge to the Moon
Another camera showing the ground , please.
😮🎉😢🎉😮
Pretty boring coverage. Rocket Labs is more interesting.
Good job on reaching orbit.
🤔🤔
Funny how nasa used to have the best film cameras and now they have the worst..
This isnt NASA. ULA is a launch service provider, NASA is one of their many customers. Besides, the flight was at 2 in the morning, cant expect to see much.
@@_K3PLR So they have less money to buy good equipment for people to see how it happens? You know that even iphone shoots better quality at night than these cameras that are used? It is just weird.
@@cingalietis I dunno about that - my iphone doesn't do well shooting a distant, very bright, moving target at night. Plus: This thing was visible for literally five hundred miles in every direction, through telescopes and binoculars, and there's already a lot of independent amateur footage hitting. ULA doesn't need to worry a lot about something satellite spotters and launch chaser are very, very happy to do themselves.
We get it, space isn't real. Happy?
@@johnmcternan4157 I try to give the benefit of the doubt. But, since there is a good chance that's what he's aiming towards: Rocket launches are visible for literally five hundred miles in every direction, through telescopes and binoculars, all the way up to operating altitude at over a hundred and fifty km. And there's always a lot of independent amateur footage. Plus, I satellite spot. I catch a few every clear night, where they're predicted to be. I've done triangulation measurements ( via scale drawing, or using simple trig) with the help of friends or relatives a few hundred km away, and measured these object’s heights and groundpeeds - these always come out as hundreds of km and km per second respectively. I've caught a couple of the bigger, lower altitude ones (including the ISS) through my telescope and they look as expected. And, getting a bit more technical, I used a radio set and a directional antenna to follow the signals produced by several of them, across the sky, so they are definitely machines in communication with the ground.
So I'm very content that, up at the heights where the air thins to almost nothing (and anyone who can drive up a mountain with a barometer, or launch a weather balloon, can confirm it thins with height) these machines are doing the jobs claimed. All the above is repeatable by anyone, has been many times. Don't take my word for it, go out and try it.
SpaceX fanboy wanted explosions 😂
How nice to have a launch commentary without all the screaming and shouting that accompanies Spacex launches.
The screaming only comes with starship because of its size and ambition. This is just a regular launch similar to what space x does twice a week.
Collaboration between NASA, ULA, and UNAM. The actual mission is 100% Mexican and so are the devices that are going to be on the moon. The only thing that is not Mexican is the actual rocket used.
