[Firefly had to scrub yesterday, they were going to launch a Lockheed sat that was described as about the size of a fridge. BTW, ULA is partly owned Lockheed, last I knew, and was possibly up for sale, if you happen to have a few billion around.

I'm streaming this on the Roku, and the narration is a little ahead of the stream here on the laptop. Not sure I'd noticed that before, and once in a while I do have it up in both places for brief periods.]

That thing’s pretty going up. Something about the A5 and the old Delta 4 heavy, and the Shuttle (and for that matter, the Falcon 9 Heavy) dropping the side boosters is just poetic. :^)
