Why they couldn’t just put it in orbit with a Gou’auld cargo ship is beyond me...

(Un-ashamed Stargate SG-1 reference there.)

I was reading the timeline for the launch and saw something that surprised me. The RL-150 engine that powers the Atlas V first stage...is of Russian design.

Whoa. Who knew?

And to think...the Atlas 1 design was an ICBM....to be used AGAINST Russia (or, more pecisely, the Soviet Union). Now we know one of the construction materials used on the Atlas V: irony.
