Delta IV Rockets Have New Pad-- The dedication of the launch pad comes at a time when the military is trying to make more use of space in the future, as the secretary of the Air Force said at the ceremonies Tuesday.

"We will be increasingly making use of space to help us monitor a whole world. And the fact that you are able to produce these launch vehicles at a much lower cost will enable us to buy these services and will enable us to think more about putting things into space," Air Force Secretary Dr. James Roche said.

Boeing is the builder of the Delta IV and will be using it at first for military launches, but is also selling commercial launches.
