Watch Vulcan launch to the Moon, brand new rocket with engines from Jeff Bezos

I hope it goes perfectly but if there is a problem, I hope Jeff's engines blow up. ULA certainly doesn't need the problem to be on their end.

ULA has a 100% success rate but they've never developed a rocket before.

Would be cool if they can keep it alive long enough, but just having data from this first launch is great too. A different company is launching to the Moon next month and hopefully they make it further.
