@air1989 Ares 1-x was a test flight of the first stage of the Ares 1. However, the Ares 1 was canceled by the Obama administration along with the rest of the Constellation program.

If we ever recover from the recession they might bring the space shuttle back.

@RollFilmProductions if you were that close you'd be dead. I don't remember what the smoke is made of but it will kill you. so right after the shuttle launches everybody that was watching from the veiw point has to leave within 15min so they don't inhale the smoke.

I for one would gladly fork over additional taxes if I could get a guarantee that they were not only 'ear-marked' for NASA and exploration research, but the money actually made it directly to NASA! The world needs wake-up and realize the uselessness of defense (and offense) funding and how important understanding that which is greater than our petty, infinitesimally-small, -insert choice meaningless adjective- planet.

i'll be honest, all of that smoke and fire would be intimidating to say the least if i had to be that close to the action. that's an epic launch though.
