I could watch a million identical launches it will never be less amazing. What an absolute marvel of human creation. It blows my mind every time. 4 TONNES of propellant per SECOND?!?

Nice launch, pity it was another contribution to our (IMO) increasingly likely case of Kessler Syndrome and not to, say, extend, repair, boost the ISS or do something truly beneficial to humanity like launch the Orange Clown into the Sun.

That rocket is pretty grande.
Incredible how fast those Ariane’s just go straight off.
Most vehicles of its size hang around the pad drifting up but A5 and A6 are just like lol bye
Would love to have been there to feel that rumble in my chest.
This would be an impresive and modern launcher for the 2000s.
It’s amazing how quickly the rocket rotates immediately after launch. It does so with almost the same ease as the UGM-133 Trident II D-5.
It looks like there is room for 4 more.
