cool find ikema oh yeh orion like orions belt only just got that lol

The rockets will be named Ares 1 and Ares V

Ares is the Greek name for Mars........

I really do hope the new vehicles work well. It'd be nice to see people go back to the moon and go to mars before i die.

So within the next 50 years please

Apparently we're all gonna die in 2012 anyway....so whats the point.

Is the Ares V the one that they will use to aim things at Mars?

It's wasn't going to be "officially" announced until the end of the month, but the name had been publically available since the middle of June. It was on public documents containing patch designs for the name, which NASA had to have approved by Congress.

Isn't the supposed empire in the dulce files is orion empire? and that the star system ehere the pyramids and pother ancient astonomical structure point at
