Ares 1 http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/space/08/15/nasa.looking.back.ap/index.html The name "Ares" is from the Greek god of war (Mars in Roman Mythology – as NASA plans to fly manned missions to Mars after 2030), while the "I" refers to the single SRB in the first stage, and as a nod to the Saturn I and Saturn IB rockets used by NASA during the Apollo Program between 1963 and 1975. The larger, unmanned Ares V cargo launch vehicle will be used to launch the Lunar Surface Access Module into a low-Earth orbit for later retrieval by a CEV. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ares_I Aug 23 06, 1:38 PM
