NASA Ares V 8 Meter Telescope Mission

I hope Obama doesn't kill Aries V or even the smaller Aries 1. That would piss me off.

I look forward to Ares V flight test..The Ares 1-X flight test tomorrow (27.10.2009 ). Should help NASA raise it´s new Ares rockets to public atention. I really do hope that the return to the Moon for the year 2020 is not dead..I know President Obama has alot on his "IN" tray..But he should give NASA the funding it needs !! NO BUCKS ! NO BUCK ROGERS !!

Whats the Hubble's diameter?
And is this project going forward, and when?

so no pepole re going on the ares v8?

The JWST is a 6.5-meter telescope and will be launched on an Ariane 5. The Ares V has 9 times larger payload capacity of the Ariane 5, so why would we settle for an 8-meter telescope??

There are also proposals for an unfolding 16 meter scope with Ares V.. And recently a proposal for increasing the capibility of linked interferometer scopes launched from Ares V.

But Ares V is in some trouble at the moment as NASA hasnt been funded well for the past five years. The current moon program is basically dead now, the presidents team was briefed friday.

imagine what this telescope would be able to see. far away from the earth radient light and biggter than hubble!

thats the point. the ares v and ares 1 is based on the space shuttle system

"He is more worried about providing the white mans money for ghetto blacks to have free health care to worry about space!"

WTF are you talking about? Obama has proposed funding for Project Constellation, he'll probably give it more funding than Bush who was too busy screwing this country over and wasting trillions of dollars on useless wars. As for health care if you want expensive healthcare dependent on your employer you need to go to SE Asia.

True..and just in my opinion, Bush was one of the worst presidents from all that i know about him (which admittedly, isn't much). Obama seems to be a very smart and intelligent person who i'm happy has got the power to make giant decisions and changes to the world. Wars..i am really against. however, without wars, we would not be where we are today..there are advantages and disadvantages..well, with regards to wars such as WW1 and WW2..Bush in my opinion and his wars WERE a waste of time.
