Test of the Ares I first stage five-segment development solid rocket motor. The motor produced 3.6 million
pounds of thrust and burnt for over two minutes. This was our second attempt to watch the test as the first test was canceled at T-20seconds. But the wait was worth it.
Yup..also too little too late by NASA. They should have hit the ground running instead of wasting 5 years making animation videos !

Hopefully Obama DOES cancel the "stick" in favor of one of the EELV LVs. The Ares configuration has too many problems (including low safety factors). Use it for early tests (including manned) and then move over to Delta IV (or Atlas V).
