The Vulcan Centaur rocket, a never-before-flown model developed by United Launch Alliance, a joint venture by Boeing and Lockheed Martin

Can someone confirm who made the engines for this rocket? I seem to remember reading it was Bezos' Blue Origin company - if so, that's the first real and significant launch success I know of for Blue Origin. As much as I dislike Bezos, it's good to have viable competition for SpaceX.

High pressure fuel leak and it’s having to use it’s orientation thrusters constantly to keep solar panels pointed toward the sun. Mission over, stick a fork in it.

Very sad, I was rooting for them.

It’s good to see NASA productive, but hauling human remains to the Moon sounds like a very expensive vanity project.

Human remains? Maybe that is what aliens are doing when they come to Earth. Dumping remains of aliens who paid a fortune to have their dead bodies dumped on another planet.

Female writers…sheesh…give me Aviation Week & Space Technology.

* roared to life
* soared through space
* ripped away from Earth’s gravity
* its slow journey to the lunar surface

Is she in fourth grade?

So in 1969 we sent men to the Moon in 3 days. Niw ut takes 6 weeks. What, there’s traffic slowing them down?
