Swordofisis, they used the name "Ares" to express the hope that the system will be the foundation of a manned Mars ( Roman name for the Greek Ares ) program. It has nothing to do with military intent.

This rocket works, so Obama is gonna focus on a new one from scratch?

"......shelve it so we can afford healthcare and more troops in Afghanistan." ....Obama

I know times are tough, but shouldn't America remain committed to exploration and advancement? The President seems to not understand that there is something of a covert space race going on with China, India, Russia, and Europe all seeking to displace us on the ultimate high ground. America's future depends on looking beyond the simple cares of this world.

Ah, So aptly named! In Greek mythology, Ares is one of the Twelve Olympians, a son of Zeus and Hera. Known as the Olympian god of warfare, he is more accurately the god of bloodlust, or slaughter personified. It kinda makes you wonder if that thing is really designed to go to the moon, doesnt it? I mean it looks more like an ICBM to me! I wonder, could that thing could be used for other more nefarious purposes? I mean, With all that's going on in the world, is this really what they say it is?

We should wait a little while to have an actual reason to go to the Moon. We go there now and nothing happens, then in 20 years Michael Jackson reincarnates on the surface and starts dancing around, and we've already wasted our trip.
