Fingers crossed it goes just as planned.

**Ggskbpbz** · 10-28-2009, 09:02 PM

i thought it is Ares I?

**Heessduernbub** · 10-28-2009, 09:46 PM

oh so it is using a shuttle SRB...
this will serve as the prove of concept...

**bestworkothlo** · 10-28-2009, 09:47 PM

Has anyone heard an updated time?

Launch window has just over two hours left...

**Heessduernbub** · 10-28-2009, 10:33 PM

lol lauch at 11 o'clock...

**GentlieGant** · 10-28-2009, 10:45 PM

It's an adapted and modified SRB - at the very least the upper segments are completely different - but yes, this very much just a "proof of concept" launch. The final vehicle will be quite different.

4 minutes now, for real.

**Jackson** · 10-28-2009, 11:27 PM

80 seconds!!!

**Konidurase** · 10-28-2009, 11:35 PM

It launched! yay

**Innockcroff** · 10-28-2009, 11:37 PM

That was cool.

the upper segment is just a brick right?

i still think they should have keep the shuttle SRB and just use more of them. 5 years delay is bad considering they got this to work like NOW!
