The ULA is doing well these days.

I guess it’s because they weren’t repurposed to as a “Muslim outreach program”.

Interesting video tying this mission to the Black Knight mystery satellite that has been orbiting Earth since the 1930s.

The RD-180 is the engine that powers ULA’s Atlas V rocket, used by the Air Force in their EELV program. Designed and built in Russia.

The funny thing is this top secret launch was carried live on an online stream by RT (Russian) television.

This was a Delta IV Heavy rocket that uses U.S. rocket engines. It’s the Atlas rocket that uses the Russian made rocket engines.
