Some pictures of the new Ares I-X package, moved to launch pad this week for test flight.

Aviation Week magazine reported that it would be cheaper to launch the thing (8 a.m. EDT tomorrow 10-27-09) than to disassemble it. Might as well get the data.
Flight canceled for today due to weather.
Nice launch today. One wonders if it will be the only launch of Ares.
A video of the Ares 1-X launch is posted at http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/videogallery/index.html
