Ares HD podcast on iTunes

Are you an astronomy devotee, like me? Project Constellation is the space transportation system that will replace the Space Shuttle fleet by 2015. Instead of having crew and cargo together, there shall be two separate launch vehicles – the Ares I and the Ares V. NASA offers progress reports via quarterly video podcasts on iTunes.

As NASA puts it – “Listen to the latest updates on NASA’s Ares rockets and their role in America’s journey to the moon.” This is the International Year of Astronomy 2009.

This short NASA video simulates the launch of the Ares I crew launch vehicle (carrying the Orion crew exploration vehicle) and Ares V cargo launch vehicle (carrying the lunar landing module).
