We are go for launch on October 27 of NASA Ares I-X, the first flight test of the Constellation program. This launch marks the next step of the Ares and Orion programs that will return America to the Moon. Apollo astronaut Gene Cernan, the last man to walk on the Moon, stated as he left the lunar surface in 1972: I am confident that we will return.
