Definitely a step in the right direction, still no where near the budget the Apollo program had though.

Definitely a step in the right direction, still no where near the budget the Apollo program had though.

It's still the best it's had in probably 25 years if not more.

The launch also marked SpaceX' 50th return landing of the Falcon booster.

Trump's US Space Force successfully launches its first national security mission

Space Force blasted into space on Thursday.

A massive United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket took the US Space Force into space on Thursday. The rocket was decked out in the official Space Force logo as it escorted an Advanced Extremely High Frequency satellite into orbit.

Atlas took off from a launchpad at Cape Canaveral in Florida. ULA's live launch webcast kicked off at 11:37 a.m. PT, but the flight took place around 1:20 p.m. PT after a technical issue foiled the first countdown. The second attempt went off smoothly.

The Atlas V booster separated cleanly from the Centaur upper stage that will take the satellite on the final leg of its journey into orbit. "Successful staging and ignition of the Centaur upper stage is confirmed!" ULA tweeted. Centaur is scheduled to release the satellite almost six hours after launch.

The satellite is the last in a series of six Advanced Extremely High Frequency, or AEHF, launches. "AEHF satellites provide global, survivable, protected communications capabilities for strategic command and tactical war fighters operating on ground, sea and air platforms," ULA said.​

​

Space Force is the newest branch of the US military. President Donald Trump formally reestablished the United States Space Command last August, setting the stage for the formal arrival of Space Force.​
