I got to see this one in-person. It was one of the best launches I’ve ever seen. Go Lucy!

When I first read up on the Lucy Mission, I was very impressed, the work, the dedication, the science, the engineering that has gone into this - where Lucy is going, the duration and what its going to accomplish will further our understanding of our system and whats in it - Go Lucy - God Speed.

The slow motion is the best part. I wonder how many hot dogs you could steam on the launch pad at liftoff 🤔.
Thank you ULA, JPL and NASA.

I just saw this clip during the live coverage of LCRD launch, and I was wondering what is the music used here, it's for a friend ;)

12 years to get to Jupiter?? But I can see it right in front of me every night. How slow is Lucy? Just kidding. But seriously unmanned rockets need to travel faster
