what happens at T+1:04? Sonic boom?

[littlepyro]

@geis2201 Nah, the rocket isn't moving fast enough at that point to break the speed of sound.  Just seemed like it jolted the camera a bit and it lagged.

I glad you have the whole video, showing the lack of roll control authority and the end near MECO.

@chfireball It is all about cost and waste. What do you need a heavy lifter for? Going to an asteroid? If a Ares 1 cost 1.5 BILLION per lauch. WIKI " The total estimated cost to develop the Ares I through 2015 has risen from $28 billion in 2006 to more than $40 billion in 2009." I was wrong Ares 5 is MORE
