I might be biased, but I think this could be the prettiest rocket I’ve ever seen. #VulcanRocket

Last one. #VulcanRocket Booster has boarded the ULA Cruise Line's URS #RocketShip for his trip to the Cape. I'll admit that our buffet line is not quite 5 star, but the staterooms are first class all the way (if you're a rocket, that is) #ToryTimelapse #CountdownToVulcan

Thought you guys might get a kick out of seeing the completed first flight Centaur V heading into the pressure cell for testing (now completed). #VulcanRocket #CountdowntoVulcan

Answer #4: #LOFTID demonstrates a specific type of Hypersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator (HIAD) technology, which could play an integral part of ULA's reusability plan to recover the main engines of our future #VulcanRocket. Congrats @SpaceNosey@twitter.com on the correct response.

Best unboxing video ever. ❤️🚀
