Congrats folks! Incredible photos!!

I am so pleased that NASA is going back to the moon. JFK is one of the people I 'look up' to. I may not have been born in the 1960's (early 1970's actually); but I can guarantee you his spirit is alive and well in me!

God Speed all of you on this challenging goal. You'll accomplish it - guaranteed! NASA hasen't let me down yet!

Yes, congratulations, indeed. And, good luck in White Sands. I'll be sure to watch out for any updates regarding this project. Keep it up, team!!

That is amazing. I don't suppose there is a video of it somewhere here at the site or maybe on YouTube?

NASA's technological capabilities is superior to anyone as demonstrated by this blog entry. But the Launch Abort System sure shows a lot of smoke and firepower, as depicted in the picture.

Being the only superpower space exploring country, we can safely say that your track record, as far as safety is concerned, is something to be applauded.

With these developments in mind, we may see the first footprints of man on Mars not a distant dream. Hope to see more such news about technological advancements on this blog.

Congratulation on a successful testing. The power of those engines is extremely powerful as the pictures show! What is the purpose of the abort motor and what type of fuel is used?

I think the progress being made on the CEV and the ARES 1 and ARES 5 rockets is to be commended.

I fully support the continued development of these 3 vehicles, however, given that the soon to be retired Space Shuttles will not have an immeadiate replacement within the U.S.fleet, perhaps there should be a program to build more Space Shuttles that are redesigned with the latest materials, and electronics, and with the latest finite element analysis and CFD codes operating on top of the line supercomputers that can now exceed 1,000 Teraflops for single units.

The current Space Shuttle fleet has performed excellently overall, except for the two Shuttles that were lost by accident, and so it seems a waste, in a way, that new more capable Shuttles are not designed and built.

The fact that the Space Shuttle flown in the mission just completed was able to be diverted to the West Coast for landing and landed in a very controlled manner simmilar to an modern day airliner shows how capable and versatile the Shuttles are.

Even though a progam to redesign and build additional space shuttles would cost billions, the pay back in terms of jump starting the design and assembly of interplanetary manned space vehicles in LEO might be huge.

In this age where the threats of terrorism and climatic upheaval bombard the global public every night on TV news programs, a bold civilization changing paradigm to develop off world colonies for humanity would inspire and unite the planet as never before.

Not to try to convert anyone here, but as a Pro-life Catholic, I see the gradual spreading of the human race ever further out into the cosmos, however long it takes, as a grand humanity unifying and Prolife agenda that every one can identify with upon reflection.

Science sure is headed to the next generation!!
Just look at the power that science has generated and think about how much it will generate !!
NASA sure creates the edge.. I am a big fan of these nasa images

Wow, amazing pictures. You really get a sense of the power of those engines. What exactly is the purpose of the abort motor?

Looks like you could have roasted your marshmallows from where you were stood! :)

I just realized that Chris didn't mention that HE took the pictures, and that I was distracting him the entire time. Keep up the good work, Chris. I guess those sessions with Ron are paying off.

Also, be sure and visit the main nasa page to see the video clips of the test. It was truly amazing... even though we weren't allowed to roast marshmallows.
