In about 5 hours at 07:18 UTC (2:18am ET, where I live), an extremely important rocket launch will hopefully happen.
United Launch Alliance (ULA) is planning to launch their new #VulcanCentaur rocket on its first mission. You can learn more and watch at: https://www.space.com/vulcan-centaur-launch-peregrine-moon-lander-webcast
Back in November, I wrote about how right now we are so dependent on SpaceX for launches, and how it would be great to have competition:

We'll see what happens! 🚀
