Delta is an American versatile family of expendable launch systems that has provided space launch capability in the United States since 1960. There have been more than 300 Delta rockets launched, with a 95% success rate. Two Delta launch systems –Delta II and Delta IV– are still in use, though the Delta II will soon be retired. Delta rockets are currently manufactured and launched by the United Launch Alliance.
Delta origins
The original Delta rockets used a modified version of the PGM-17 Thor, the first ballistic missile deployed by the United States Air Force, as their first stage. The Thor had been designed in the mid-1950s to reach Moscow from bases in Britain or similar allied nations, and the first wholly successful Thor launch had occurred in September 1957. Subsequent satellite and space probe flights soon followed, using a Thor first stage with several different upper stages. The fourth upper stage used on the Thor was the Thor "Delta," delta being the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet. Eventually the entire Thor-Delta launch vehicle came to be called simply, "Delta."
Delta Rocket History - Part II - Legacy Of Thor - America's Most Successful Rocket
The Third part of my series one the Thor and Delta Rockets. At the start of the 1980's the Delta launch vehicle had managed to evolve from a small intermediate missile into a reliable launch vehicle that had carried hundreds of payloads over the last 2 decades. However, NASA was preparing to replace it with the Space Shuttle and it looked like it may be headed for retirement.
But when the Space Shuttle was unable to deliver on its promises of reliable low cost launch services Delta was there to pick up the slack and continue its career up to the present day... or maybe 2018, depending on what you consider delta to be.
A great deal of this research was compiled by Ed Kyle, thanks for his fantastic work.

Explaining the Delta Rocket Fireball - Kerbal Space Program Doesn't Teach....
Every time a Delta IV launches people inevitably ask if the rocket consuming fireball is supposed to happen. The answer is yes, this is caused by the rocket purging its engines with hydrogen before letting the hydrogen/oxygen mixture into the combustion chamber. But there's more to it that that of course.
