NASA New Rocket Lauching

I-X rocket Wednesday, after multiple delays over two days because of bad weather. It was the first flight test for the Constellation Program, NASA's next-generation spacecraft and launch vehicle system. The rocket's launch is part of NASA's mission to someday return astronauts to the moon and later travel to Mars.
NASA spokesman George Diller, who was moderating the launch preparations for broadcasters, communicated the frustration as launches were repeatedly called off with just minutes to go.
After 11 a.m., it appeared there would be a narrow window for a liftoff, and a half-hour later the rocket roared skyward.
"I can't tell you how proud I am of all of you," Ed Mango, Ares I-X launch director, told engineers and others inside the center after the launch. "That was just one of the most beautiful rocket launches I've ever seen."
