Besides the fact that Falcon9 being much safer than Ares 1. Falcon9 is estimated to have a recurring cost of almost $45.8 Million per flight. Ares 1 is estimated to have a recurring cost of almost $1Billion per flight.

Actually, Skeezy, I was there and can assure you it was MORE fun than launching another shuttle, because all the thousands of cheering NASA workers knew that they were watching the prelude to continued U.S. human spaceflight in the post-shuttle era. Too bad the dopey politicians got in the way...

I'm sorry, This just isn't as much fun as launching shuttles. Just sayn...

@RobertsDigital Then our Government began a massive deployment of combat and support units into Afghanistan...after Bin Laden had escaped into Pakistan.

@RobertsDigital Send everything you need into Afghanistan to capture bin laden: air support, ground support, and a few ranger battalions to back up and support Delta Force. A lion attacks a mouse with all it's strength, spare no effort. Instead our Government relied on a bunch of planes and a few Afghan gangs to support twenty some odd Delta commandos. If you read "Kill Bin Laden" you'll get a very good idea of just how "well" those half-hearted goat herders supported Delta Force.

What a disappointment, compared to a Shuttle.

The launch is incredibly fast.

what are those towers around the launch for?

@jnthnbush That are the three towers for the lighting protection. Wires between the 3 towers will protect the rocket and launchpad. For more information, search google for 'ares lighting towers' and click the second results, wich is a NASA page.
