An investigation into the first incident found a manufacturing defect was responsible for the loss of the booster’s exhaust nozzle shortly after liftoff. Officials have not announced the results of the probe into the second booster failure, but it appeared to be similar to the first incident
Another GPS launch shifts from ULA to SpaceX as Vulcan investigation continues

🚀 Interesting approach, just the filters might be better (such as for #ULA or #RocketLab in the last years) https://rocketlaunch.org/launch-providers

📆 2016 Tobey, vice president of #engineering, recruited to address the issue of cost competitiveness at #ULA : #SpaceX was able to offer launch capabilities for as little as one-third 📉 the price of what ULA could.
#Bruno was trying to make ULA more #competitive and #innovative.
Tobey resigned from his position at #ULA https://arstechnica.com/science/2016/03/ula-executive-admits-company-cannot-compete-with-spacex-on-launch-costs/

Ironically, #ULA held a #US launch #monopoly earlier this century before #SpaceX came along and disrupted its business with lower-cost, more frequent access to space.
What #Bridenstine did not say on social media is that his consulting firm, The Artemis Group, netted $990,000 💰 from #ULA in 2025
