Atlas V Rocket Launch 3/1/22

-
I was doing a movie theater in Satilite Bch in the late 90s, seen the Space Shuttle take off. Pretty Cool...
 
The Atlas 5 that went up was built by ULA United Launch Alliance, this one had 4 solid booster that dropped off as the rocket was going out of site. They will have to switch over to the Falcon 9 Rocket built by SpaceX with the reusable first stage that they land back near the launch pad, or land back to the floating barge out in the ocean. Reusable parts, just as well.

Very large and expensive 1st Stage that they are able to Recycle and Reuse multiple times

Are you saying the Atlas V doesn't use the RD-180?
 
I'm all in on space. Friends even say "you're pretty spaced out bro"

Have tons of pictures taken from home.
Caught the rocket and the full moon.
The SpaceX boosters landing back at the Cape are awesome, the Space Shuttle was the bomb.
