Tell me that rocket they will sit this thing on won’t have the same Russian rockets that might have blown up recently?

The Delta IV is a Boeing design built in Alabama. No Russian garage-sale rockets here.

The Delta IV Heavy rocket that will be carrying this payload is built in the USA by Boeing and uses Aerojet-Rocketdyne RS-68A engines also built in the USA.

No, of course not, they'll use completely new old russian rockets that haven't blown up yet! America used to be a leader in Space, now under Lord Foul, we take a back seat to everyone and apologize if we accidently excel at something.
