  • This is cool, but I don't think anything will beat the awesomeness of the Space Shuttle Launch.

  • Prick in the white house cancelled it all.

  • This is some cool stuff

  • @PchanStitch no

  • lol If you guys want to go to the moon, find another Kennedy and start a brand new cold war (possibly with china). A moon landing will then be an epic propaganda win.

  • @PchanStitch You're definitely not alone if you do.

  • Is it wrong of me to hate Obama for cancelling this?

  • @mainstreetgse Oh, and by the way, NO it does not require a HUGE escape system. The Ares / Constellation fell back on many of the Apollo concepts including the very simple escape rocket system. It had a simple rocket attached to a shroud the covers the crew module during lift off. Up to a certain altitude, the rocket could be fired and it would pull the crew module away from the rocket. If it ended up not being used, it simply pulls the shroud off at a designated altitude.

  • @mainstreetgse No it won't because it was cancelled many months ago. The current Administration has ensured that we nolonger have a viable space program.

  • Why does the rocket look tilted a little?
