“………. Go Atlas V! Go Centaur! Go StarLiner”

As ULA- United Launch Alliance, Boeing in preparations of sending crew to International Space Station, also into space starting off with the CST-100 (Crew Service Transportation module) in which that module is ten times reusable for is lifetime duration… as the preparations currently in progress with its maiden flight in 2018, in which the Atlas V – CST-100 certification progress finalized in 2017.. in which is launch complex is based at Space Launch Complex SLC-41 with its Crew servicing White Room ready to go.. for the 2018 launch Calendar from NASA KSC Cape Canaveral Air Force Station ….

In this you’re ready suited up fashionably with Boeing’s Next Generation signature blue Flight suit with touch enable gloves then transported to the launch complex, seated , prepared inside the StarLiner, once seated then prepared with Boeing Launch Control..  Once launched the various components of the Atlas destaging with your StarLiner powered up with the Centaur then unstaging, your StarLiner CST-100 will be on its way to, dock with the International Space Station for the duration of your stay until you return with a land based returned landing ….

Note.. Given that you watch this 360 view its Best to view it with the YouTube Application for best experience..

As next generations of carrier rocket booster in carrying a payload heavier more, with more affordability, accessibilities to more capabilities with opportunities catering to more far reaches towards from Geo stationary orbit to space to the planet Pluto..  The newest Sister the ULA- United Launch Alliance – NGLS-Vulcan-Centaur- ACES hybrid has a slight different Dress silhouette cut than her older sisters, in which she wears a more sleeker, stream line figure… accessorizing with either a four to six SRB external Solid Rocket  Booster with also either comes with a four to five meter payload fairing configuration..

As its newest sister, the Vulcan-Centaur NGLS consist of a newly develop locally made engine, with an introduction of a newly develop ACES- Advanced Cryogenic Evolved Stage in which will gives an more advantage in capacities than her current sisters like her Atlas V .. Consisting in her main stage is two engines, while the advanced Centaur staging is consisted with a single engine..  in the second phased of the program development the NGLS-Vulcan the secondary staging will be replaced, accessorized with more advance ACES staging secondary booster staging in 2023 which will give more extreme equal capabilities comparatively to the Delta IV Heavy in launching heavier payloads ..

As the development staging in finalizing its final design process in which will undergo its CDR- Critical Design Review in finding the engines the manufacturing tooling, assembling  sites to the , also the launch complex sites  in which will finalized in the 2017 calendar year to its maiden flight in the 2019 launch scheduling..

On 12 December 2014 on a beautiful sunny partial cloudy day, on the west coast of the United States, in California, Vandenberg Air Force Base… On a night launch, an Atlas five rocket was prepared to send a payload, in which is a NROL-35, and National Reconnaissance Office 35 a Reconnaissance satellite …. In this Launch, in collaboration with the “ULA-Untied Launch Alliance” with the “United States Air Force” it is the first time flight of a RL10C rocket engine used on the upper staging of the Centaur component of the rocket staging…

As seen here some awesome highlights done by “Matthew Travis”  shows the progress from a three week from September  assembly on the launch complex on Vandenberg Air Force Base’s launch complex three… to the getting ready prime fueling  for a traditional military  launch…

There’s one thing interesting in this flight its mission patch logo, in its design… In having gone to the more of a Marvel, DC comics like a Dragon age mix in with War or Warcraft  type of look with an Awesome female Mage warrior, in a dark Gothic Mage purple dress, with holding a guarded trident in readiness to follow with her single amber charge from one hand.. Meaning ready to defend…  With her energy charged fiercing purple hair… like she’s ready for battle….
