Took a break from Dissertation-y things today to visit Vandenberg and watch a Delta IV Heavy take off! The Delta IV Heavy is an enormously powerful rocket and it's pretty awesome to watch one in person. I took my new tripod rig and got some great footage despite the awful ground-level wind.

  • Awesome! Always wanted to get out to see a launch, and those Delta Heavy's are something else. I didn't realize you could see stage separation, very cool!

    That's a big rocket. In high school many, m-a-n-y years ago, our Jr. ROTC class took a field trip to Vand enburg AFB on the central coast of California. While we were there, we watched a Minuteman II lift-off. Definitely LOUD with super, duper sub-bass. It shook my tummy good!
  • I’ve been around Top Fuel engines many times. A rocket launch has to be even more jarring than that. Seeing one is on my bucket list.
  • Thanks Alpha, great video, I watched from Goleta. Also, your video comments on the con trail answered a question I wanted to ask.
  • I worked this launch as an engineer on the gsw avionics team 🙂. It was amazing how we were able to get it off first try, shocked everyone.
  • Awesome launch. Nice footage. Come watch a landing some time from FL when the pandemic ends... eventually.
  • OMG this was at vanderberg? Wow I missed out. Congrats on catching such an epic launch!

    Perfect weather for a launch... Visually, at least.
  • I'm glad this channel has gained so much traction, out of the more recent videos even the least popular one still has over 10k views.

    wow awesome this is first i look rocket lunch
  • Very beautiful rocket... too bad she's being retired - but rightfully so. Bring on Vulcan!
  • It was cool to see. I was able to see it, couldn’t get off work to get a great view but was still awesome to see irl.
  • I went to see delta 4 heavy launch in Florida in Dec 2020 i think it was, feeling rumbling and seeing it light up night sky. Amazing!! 👏👏
