New audio: TDYR 415 - Why ULA's Vulcan Centaur Launch Was So Important - https://soundcloud.com/danyork/tdyr-415-why-ulas-vulcan-centaur-launch-was-so-important
In this episode, I discussed why the launch of ULA's Vulcan Centaur rocket on January 8 was so important from a resiliency point of view as we look to do so much more in space.
They have a long way to go to even begin to catch up with the truly amazing launch work that #SpaceX is doing... but at least it is a start.

Now the question will be: how competitive can ULA actually be? Articles state that ULA has * 6 * launches planned in 2024.
Meanwhile SpaceX will launch over 100.. possibly 144.
And ULA the company is going through some challenges. Read Eric Berger’s excellent profile of ULA over at ArsTechnica: https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/01/with-vulcans-liftoff-imminent-united-launch-alliance-flies-into-uncertain-future/
Will Boeing and Lockheed successfully sell the company? What does its future hold?

🚀 SUCCESS! 🚀
The first flight of ULA’s Vulcan Centaur lifted off early this morning, launching the first US private moon lander and a whole bunch of scientific experiments… and memorials. More info:

This was incredibly important for ULA as a company. And it’s important for us all to have more launch providers.
Congrats to all involved on this successful launch!
