It is unseemly for an institution that is as noble as a rocket company to get its employees or affiliates to leave positive messages on their own SocMed pages. It is dishonest and launch providers need to operate at circa 100%.
@@jacobreuter Ok I’ll say it again: The ULA is a good company run by a good man (although I will never understand the BE-4 decision) and it’s Social Media Department should not sink to the level of spamming it’s own YT uploads with positive reviews. That is at the level of joke companies like Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin who engage in this practice as a matter of course.
Damn i roughly knew how it was done because of destins video (smarter everyday) but this is a bit more detailed in some areas and 8 to 23 days to get the rockets to the launch pad? Damn thats some times
well to be fair ULA's current rockets would have to have a massive redesign and loose a bit of their launch capability in order to make them, 1 survive reentry, 2 land back on earth in a way that would allow them to be reused much like the spacex ones are. There is a reason why spacex have two different launch profiles for the F9, reuseable and expendable
If I remember right from the Smarter Every Day tour (basically an hour-long version of this video), some of the friction stir welding tech is restricted by ITAR.
Shame the resources are all wasted in the end. So much care, process, and human hours are given to these monster rockets. I love seeing the process of how they are made!
The factory is almost as important as te product. Henry ford was successfull not becaus the Ford T model, but because he was the first to implement the assembly line.
Can somebody tell me why they censored the robots? What is so special with the robots, I mean we can see that those are the typical industry robots that are commonly used in the car industry.
Thanks ULA for the video, I am not trying to be cynical or discredit such as great company as ULA , but it's clear the future is reusable rockets, with SpaceX being the pioneer and their monsterous fully resuable Starship coming up soon and Blue Origin giant New Glenn on the way in few years (hopefully) and 10s of other companies working on their own reusable rockets, ULA definitely will be out of business in less than a decade, (plus the helicopter catching proposal is not really an effective solution), I hope they start working on actual reusable rocket before it's too late.
SpaceX is undeniably crushing all launch provider competition apart from Rocket Lab who seem like a smart bunch and so who therefore deserve a share of the market. As from now any company that isn’t developing a fully reusable rocket is a dinosaur and the only thing that will stop them from going extinct is government subsidies.
ULA has some really cool tech and applications. Many gifted engineers and production people for sure. If they were to use a more creative presentation template for these TH-cam videos the impact of the message would reach and influence many more people. In other words, really lose the "old space" persona.I could go on .....
It seems like a huge waste of material and machining to take a thick panel and mill it out. Why not build a rounded frame section and then put a skin over it? More welding but much less machining, material, and time wasted. And why are all these rocket factories in Alabama? Because Senator Richard Shelby is the Aerospace Czar of the U.S. Government? Elon Musk was right. The formation of ULA was an intent to monopolize and shouldn't have been allowed under U.S. law.
Government spending on the rocket industry has benefited America and its economy ENORMOUSLY. Part of the reason that America is the most powerful country in the world today is because of NASA.
This is the coolest "How It's Made" style tour I've ever watched. A+, go Vulcan Centaur!

Cool to see the MNDT scanner still at the friction stir weld system. I installed it several years ago
Marietta? Fun times.
@Ragingmaja got dang right!
Yes more videos like this please! Thank you for this shiny beautiful eye candy.
As soon as I saw the title "...Rocket Factory Tour", I put it in full screen 4K mode and loved every minute of it!!!
Thank you for all the hard work these proud men and women do in Decatur. Im a proud resident of north Alabama and this stuff is awesome to see! 💪🇺🇸
Can't wait to see Vulcan Centaur fly!
You and Tory Bruno both! 🤔
Great video, but it has been two years since the 1 hour tour with SmarterEveryDay, we need and updated VULCAN tour!
Its so cool and amazing how many components that "Rocket Ship" can carry in one go.!!
Excellent video, enjoyed it, learned a lot. Thanks!
Oh my god! Thats so awesome! I can only imagine how cool a full length documentary of that style would be!
joooo! I just found the smarter everyday tour with tory bruno
very cool, we really appreciate more of these type of videos , thanks
Thanks for the cool video and unique perspective
Loved those timelapses!
Love it! Can’t wait for you to get your engines to launch Vulcan!!
Awesome video!
Successful launches to all planets in the solar system… That is an absolute crazy statistic. Go ULA.
Awesome, thank you!
This is all so freakin' cool
Cool video! Sucks that it's going straight to the ocean.....
Damn i roughly knew how it was done because of destins video (smarter everyday) but this is a bit more detailed in some areas and 8 to 23 days to get the rockets to the launch pad? Damn thats some times
It's cool to see that they are using robotic arms to help them with manufacturing the rockets. Can't wait to the new Vulcan 🖖
I can feel the itar, it's too strong
More, please!
Sad; all that beautiful work for one trip into space. Too bad the stages can't be reused. Thanks for the tour ULA.

Delta IV Heavy ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah dude we already know... Destin showed us 🤣
was that a 360 degree GoPro setup at 4:00?
Right on
Cool
Why are the robot arms in the factory blured out?

No engines?
Chrome
Whites attraction the causes for black heat tiles. Pressures heats during reentry light absorbstion
Decatur Al, wow the person who birthed me always wanted me to go there but I don't think it was to this place. 🥺😳😜🙄
Your mom???
Why isn't Tory Bruno presenting this? We want TORY!
Today on How It’s Made!
gov: "nOoOoOo you can not make videos about manufacturing rockets they are considered icbms >;("
ula: "hahha YEEEHAWWWW!!"
Rockets are cool
Shame the resources are all wasted in the end. So much care, process, and human hours are given to these monster rockets. I love seeing the process of how they are made!
You mention Vulcan a lot. How many Vulcan stages have you made while waiting for the BE-4 engine from Blue Origin?
Looked like there were BE-4s in the factory there :)
At 2:49, BE-4 being installed on a Vulcan core.
Oh and at 4:19 to 4:28, a Vulcan core with BE-4s going to the transport ship.
My boy works there
ULA all the way!
The OG's are here to stay!
🖖
Like this video
Shouldn't booster production begin with delivery of BE-4 engines?
Damn you Jeff!!
Circumforential Friction Stir Welding- No additional material. Exceptionl strength. What can we learn or use from this common process?
Rocket lore
We need more videos like these
Hi ula
Now the modern rockets use stainless shell plate for reusable rockets
Hey Tory 🎈
💌
What wonderful rockets, shame they only get used once then tossed in the ocean
ULA needs to start launching their rockets from Alabama
Can they not build these closer that 8hours ship ride away ??
👍
طاقتي كيف الحال طيبين
where is the engines jeffrey ??!!
Being finished at the Kent, WA factory. Also, engines are now being built at Huntsville.
Where's the sound?
What sort of engine was that at 2:51?
rocket engine
It should be an Rl 10A for the Centaur upper stage.
That's a BE-4
You guys need to *HAMMER* Bezos about where those engines are he promised!!
I've seen all these things before thanks to Destins video
Also, "foreskin panels"
Sounds great, but its still a waste of a rocket unlike SpaceX rockets which return home again!

hi,are you beaten badly by spaceX
Didn’t Dustin from smarter everyday already do a tour with Tory
*Destin
Where's the engines, Bezos?
hahahaha made me chuckle
Shhh…..🤫
Jeff who?

LOL! Or the exact reason you're here eh, Muskrat?
P.S. How's FartRip, I mean, Starship, progressing? Whoops!
SpaceX thrust deflectors destroying a launch pad. That is Russian
Jeff who???
Looks who's going after SpaceX
Good luck with a less capable & more expensive vehicle than SpaceX's last gen rocket

I wish Tory would unblock me on twitter
This is cool and all but please take down your video calling reusability not economically viable with a horribly inaccurate diagram
****These aren't the reusable rockets you're looking for****
this is how to not build a rocket in 2022. i want my tax money back... sorry

Elon Musk was right. The formation of ULA was an intent to monopolize and shouldn't have been allowed under U.S. law.
The metal shavings are collected and returned to the sheet metal supplier for recycling.
Its good to see what our corporate welfare programs give us.
