Watch live as ULA's Atlas V rocket lifts off from Cape Canaveral with the AEHF-6 mission

OOOoooo. Aaaaaaahhh..

Watch live as ULA's Atlas V rocket lifts off from Cape Canaveral with the AEHF-6 mission for the U.S. Space Force Space and Missile Systems Center.

The Space Force has quickly been established and is fully functional, assembled from the dregs of the deep state, with "mission critical functions" still going ahead full steam ahead during the lockdowns across the country.

Pretty cool, all statism involved aside, I suppose...

Enjoy

Mods, I originally thought of posting this in Military Projects, but It didn't seem to post. But maybe it did, pending approval or something? If so, sorry please disregard/delete. This post is probably more suitable to this forum anyways. Thanks

Yeah, I'm sure a rocket named Atlas just happening to take off when a comet named Atlas is burning brighter than ever is a mere coincidence. And I'm sure the fact that two people posted these thing just a few posts apart is ALSO a mere coincidence:

SURE.

This has nothing to do with you, you innocent robotic demonoid projection. Go back to work.

Be nice

Somewhere around a month ago several of us tracked the satellite being moved by C-5 from Moffett Field to Dover AFB. It was moved by truck from there to Wallops Island.

Nice little tidbit there, thanks.

Why is the Atlas v still in use when SpaceX can do it also with a Falcon9 that has been reused and can be spared?
I tried to find the answer to payload capability with no need to land the dude and use again.
Can you please if you can explain why Atlas was used instead?
Thank you in advance.

The Atlas V is relatively new. The first launch was 2002. You don't want to eliminate all your options when it comes to anything. If they give everything to SpaceX, then they can come back and say costs are going up, and you don't have any choice but to pay it. It's all about industrial base protection.

I wouldn’t have thought of that aspect.
Thank you Z!
