Thank you for posting this video. I have enjoyed following the progress of the Ares launch vehicle online and I am looking forward to the first test flight of the Ares I-X booster in 2009. By offering video progress reports such as this one, you are allowing average people like me the opportunity to take part in America's next giant leap in space. I am excited about Project Constellation because I think it has the potential to inspire a whole new generation of human spaceflight enthusiasts.
