The power of 2.1 million pounds of thrust as ULA'S new Vulcan rocket and two Blue Origin's BE-4 engines wirh two Northrop Grumman GEM 63 XL side boosters at liftoff on 2:18 AM January 8th 2024 from launch complex 41 Cape Canaveral Florida.

This was the 2nd brightest launch I have ever seen after the incredible NASA Artemis 1 launch.

Communication has been made to Astrobotic's Peregrine Lunar Lander after reaching orbit. Next stop the moon!

There were between 10 to 15 cameras blown over around the launch pad from Vulcan power. Most equipment was coated in SRB residue, grass & water.
