Omg I can’t believe the Delta IV and Delta family will end with this launch… go Delta IV! Go NROL-70!!
This was an epic rocket family for sure, it is going to be an emotional event. But every story has a beginning and an end, Delta IV will go down in history as a remarkable rocket variant. We will miss the fireball at the start, those moments made this rocket so unique 😊 Go NROL-70! 🤘
Sad😢
Goodbye Delta ❤
Goodbye but what a legacy
The Japanese have one of its cousins, pritty sure the h2 rocket is related to it
Delta Heavy is a great rocket!! Sad to see it go but happy I got to see it active!
What a fitting way to wrap up the long family line of Delta's with the most metal of all rockets.
We're sad to see the Delta IV family go, but every great story comes to an end. Let's hope Vulcan will carry the torch and will follow Delta's legacy footsteps. Having said that we also have doubts, seeing Blue Origin's intentions to purchase ULA is a tad worrying to be honest. We'll see... Until then go NROL-70, go Delta IV Heavy! 😊
One final launch, for the most metal rocket!
Go Delta IV Heavy!
Godspeed Delta IV all the way to the grave with this one!
Hell yeah, can’t wait to see this thing fly. She may be old, but she’s still a beauty.
may the Delta rocket family rest in peace
I will certainly miss the Big Ol' Rocket that does a burnout at liftoff.
GO, DELTA IV HEAVY!
GO, NROL-70!
A magnificent beast. Very sad to see it go
I was lucky enough to see one launch!
When is this launch? That's a crucial detail I'd love in the description of this video.

I am actually getting melancholic, realizing that this is the end in a long, looong line of Delta rockets.
Sure, Delta IV has little in common with her predecessors, but the name still carried on this legacy.
Time for a new age, I guess. ^.^
What a monster the Delta IV Heavy is. 🤘👏🙃
What a legend! 😎🚀
I was there a few days ago to watch the rocket launch when the countdown was ended. Was it launched the next day after ?
Fly High Delta! You will be remembered
Goodbye Delta IV😢😢😢❤❤❤😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 We love you😭😭😭😭😭😭
This is it! The last & final launch of the Delta Family! The Delta Family will be missed! Go Delta!
Lets go
Вы Лучшие!👍👍👍👍👍+
Long live Delta
Oh...Seriously? I’m very sad. I’m a huge fan Delta IV Heavy...
So great rockets, Delta family! Goodbye and Good luck Delta IV Heavy.
Thank you ULA, NASA, USA. from Japan
One last ride of for the delta
Fly in peace delta heavy
Godseed delta! lets end it off strong!
Go Delta! have a happy retirement!
Does the flame duct provide any additional boost to the vehicle?
Nope, it just deflects the engine exhaust away from the vehicle.
Okay I was thinking it might act like a compressor of pressure / atmosphere I know it's just a concrete box @@fs10inator
@@lorenzoo90it wouldnt really make a difference if it did that because the exhaust gasses would have already left the engine at the point.
God speed Delta rocket family
The end of delta 4 heavy and the delta rockets with this launch.
This is the final Delta 4 Heavy to be flown.
На неё можно смотреть ВЕЧНО!🖐✋👍
how come they are retiring it?
ULA decided to retire their Atlas V and Delta launch vehicles and replace them the Vulcan, which debuted earlier this year. Much easier for them to have one launch vehicle family than two. They still have some Atlas Vs in their inventory but the Atlas will be retired at some point too.
Now is not the time to go out with a bang.
can this land itself
RIP
Date? Time?
Thursday 28th March at 13:40 EDT.
Thanks!@@ross077
didn't know there are birds in space (1:58)

ROFI's dont ignite engines.
I declare 3/28 International Fireball Day.
Where does it land? Does anyone know where the landing is?
This isn't a falcon 9 it is a Delta IV, a disposable launch vehicle.
Sounds like the Scientology guy
Super. But charge them for the damage to the environment. It's expenses, not ours. Their profit not ours. Our Planet. Not Theirs
This rocket's exhaust is just water vapor
Also known as super scary 'green house water' to the climate change nut jobs like dan. @@Shadow_The_Pad
@@Shadow_The_Pad1. Incorrect. Delta IV uses ablative coating inside their nozzles for cooling purposes. I am not sure about the details, but it's definetly not water vapor and I sure as hell would rather not breathe it in.
2. Environmental damage is more than just engine exhaust. It's also noise pollution, spent stages dropped into the ocean, production and handling facililties, the list goes on.
I absolutely agree with @danhove that any and all environmental damage must be compensated accordingly, and not only for rocket launches btw. In fact, there is literally no way around it: Either they pay, we pay, or future generations pay. Pick one.
@@Shadow_The_PadOh and btw, water vapor is a potent greenhouse gas as well. But H2O decays much faster than CO2 (about ten days vs. 50-200 years) so it's not as bad.
But I bet ULA does not use green hydrogen in their rockets anyways. Instead, this is likely grey hydrogen which is pretty much fossile gas after all. All that useless Carbon from fuel production has to go somewhere. Wanna guess where? ^.^
Rockets have a TINY effect on the environment and their benefits for us (and the planet via sending satellites that study our climate) outweigh them all
though i do agree that all companies should pay for their damages
