This should buy ULA enough time to get Vulcan flying.

Rand,
Agreed, this is what ULA needs (with a little bit of margin). With this legislative roadblock cleared, it’ll be their parent’s fault if they don’t have Vulcan certified before the end of 2022. Hopefully, they’ll stop doing the quarter-by-quarter funding crap, now that their primary excuse for that has gone away. I think ULA can do this, and am glad McCain and Nelson were able to work out a solid compromise.

Really liking ULA under Bruno. Not a fan of relying on Russians for anything but it isn’t just a switch that can be flipped.
