American is using the money that brought from other countries in a right way. going space is the ultimate way to solve human warlike instinct. the sooner the better.

@akidinspace That's exactly what it was. The whole test was to launch thru staging...it staged as expected and the fact the upper stage started tumbling after sep was an anticipated possibility that had no effect on the test itself.

at the very end im hoping that that was just the first stage breaking away and not a catastrophic failure,

We should have small towns on the moon by know,with liek underground tunnels and stuff.

As you can see the Ares 1-X worked ! It flew ! It launched ! Why cancel it ??!! NASA needs the Ares V to finally. At long last to get humans from LEO to travel to Mars and return to the Moon !!

amazing video thanks for posting

@kansasbball15 the rocket thrust nozzle can 'Gimble' in different directions hence the reason it has no fins , the process is called thrust Vectoring thereby allowing stable flight to still occur without the need or added coefficient drag from using fins ;-P

Oh and couldnt they just find like a planet that can refuel rockets so that a rocket can land there and refuel to get further out to places and wouldn't it be possible for the station to oxygen from plants?

isnt light speed like 12million miles a min? we wouldn't just need new designs for the spaceship engine but for safety against the G's that would occur

And if you didn't realize but this rocket is about the same size as the Saturn 5 but much faster, its partner Ares 5 which is a payload rocket, much taller than the saturn 5. NASA is improving on their rocket designs to make them faster, so that someday we can live in the sci-fi world, like lightspeed or timetravel

[kansasbball15]

They're going back to the moon to do stuff they couldn't have done back then, like put a moon base up or travel to new places
