How to Stack a Rocket
Posted on Sep 15, 2009 05:40:49 PM | Dan Kanigan | 9 Comments    |


During the months of the assembly operations, the Ares I-X team stuck a camera in the Vehicle Assembly Building to record everything.

The result…10 months of hard work stuffed into 5 minutes and 45 seconds. Watch the video on YouTube

Enjoy!!

wow, this rocket is huge. I cant wait to see it go up. I live right here on the space coast, It's going to be amazing. I fully support Nasa, and hope they go far with moon exploration. I'm 16, and it's my dream to work at Nasa when i grow up. :)

The excitement builds as the prototype of America's newest manned space vehicle is about to rollout! Fantastic job, folks. Make us proud this Fall!

Keep it up Nasa! Hopefully these politicians will wise up and realize that Ares is the future and we can not stop exploring space. Bravo!

I vote to continue Ares 1 to completion & build the largest rocket ever made in all history.

I just watched "When We Left Earth" which has more than rekindled my interest in the space program. I hope that this thing really does launch, as well as return to the moon and beyond.
