For eight years now, space fans -- and space investors -- have waited patiently for the arrival of United Launch Alliance's new Vulcan Centaur , the rocket that will replace ULA's workhorse "Atlas" and "Delta" rocket families and carry ULA into the 21st Century. Vulcan was originally expected to begin flying in 2021, but a combination of COVID-19 and production delays at engine supplier Blue Origin have pushed the rocket's first flight back a bit.
But on May 4, 2023 -- "May the Fourth," a date dear to the hearts of sci-fi fans -- Vulcan Centaur will finally fly.
Or so says Tory Bruno, CEO of the Boeing (NYSE: BA) and Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) rocket-launching joint venture that is United Launch Alliance.
