*certain terms and restrictions apply. Not all launch directors will qualify for immediate launch. In the event of a scrub NASA will offer a make up launch at its convenience weather and technical conditions permitting.

:D

2. Will be watching.
Funny looking rocket, but I'm glad we're (hopefully) moving past the shuttle.

The Ares V, now THAT is gonna be cool.

3. As much as I like the ARES,
the Saturn V is still my favorite.

5. One Meeeeeeeelion dollars.



I love how we spend trillions on "defense", the drug war, etc... Yet NASA can't sneeze without everyone needing to know exactly how much it costs.
