NASA’s Ares 1-X Rocket Flight Test Successful
October 28, 2009
Congrats to NASA on today’s successful flight test of the Ares 1-X rocket. It was the first new vehicle to rise from Launch Pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center in over 25 years. It’s a test version of the rocket designed to carry a 4 to 6-person crew capsule called Orion into space. Hopefully this successful launch will spur Congress and the White House to provide further funding.
