Not a single Astronaut in this video, just the engineers working on the development of the Ares I crew launch vehicle and Ares V heavy-lift cargo launch vehicle. A lot of negative press surrounds this program, but there are precious few government projects that are ever completed on time and inside budget, if they were, funding would never be approved in the first place.
If you take the view that there is far too little public spending on Space Exploration, then perhaps a large unstoppable oil tanker of a space program is the best platform to expand frontiers in Space, spawn new technologies and inspire more of the population to pursue a career in science and engineering.
