I'm just happy that the construction didn't fall over from the weight of the dude standing on platform at the top.

Soon we'll see is Astronaut Buzz is right or not. I believe he said that the vibrations would be too great for Ares I to succeed.

"It looks like a sewer pipe that will expel even more filth then the previous models.Not impressed."

Well, you should take that up with NASA then! Oh wait – nobody cares what you think. That's a bit unfortunate.

Wiseguy: I do sense a sewer pipe, but it's not the rocket.

It's very impressive and I do hope it does well but I fear it is a giant NASA project dinosaur blending the worst features of Saturn V and the shuttle. I don't see riding to space on a giant firework strapped to a hi-tech bomb as an advance. It will provide an interim launch platform so let's hope it's safe enough because another tragedy will probably kill the US manned space program stone dead.
