The Ares 1-X prototype rocket is rolled out of the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA yesterday to begin its slow drive up to the newly completed launch pad.

The Ares 1 is the proposed delivery solution for astronauts both to the ISS when the shuttle is retired (possibly) as well as to Lunar and eventually Martian manned missions. The test launch is due on Tuesday morning.
