Launch video of the ARES I-X Rocket from Kennedy Space Center on 28th October 2009, the first launch of a new crew launch vehicle system which is intended to replace the Space Shuttle for transporting Astronauts to the International Space Station and facilitate rendezvous with exploration support modules and landers for missions beyond Earth's orbit.
However this maybe the first and last flight for the Ares 1 concept since the recent Augustine Commission report favors the development of a COTS solution for crew transport to Low Earth Orbit rather than one developed by NASA.
