Looking a little lost sat on the transport usually used to take the Shuttle to its launch pad; the Ares test rocket makes its slow journey in the early morning light. Whilst it looks a little diminutive, it actually towers above the space shuttle and is of a comparable size to the Saturn rockets used for the Apollo moon missions.

Smiles ... It looks a bit like a syringe, doesn't it? It's scheduled for launch on Oct. 27th. My best wishes for it's success.

You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive ... twice.

I've almost always never like shots of machines, army, NASA, etc.. But that is just awsome in an inimidating way. The skies are perfect for this shot. Well done!

Cool...Didn't really check out this one...Some of the design reminds me a little bit of the old Titan III configuration...Thanks for sharing...
