Ares I-X

" Next week Massey is set to test launch its brand new Ares one X rocket that hit -- out to the pad yesterday. It's unveiling has caused quite a stir in the science community and if all goes well it could be the future of manned space flight turns right now from the rocket's launch pad. Is deputy mission manager for the project. John -- reportedly jumped. Very good morning to you. Now admit it this isn't sure it's a first time back out at Nancy you've had something quite make it it is the world's tallest booster. Now once in it gets off the ground literally next week. What is this thing supposed to do."

" What's gonna happen on this rocket is will lift off just like an Ares one rocket will do it'll clear the towers you see behind me and about six seconds. And go supersonic and 39 sex and weighs one point eight million pounds at launch so it's an amazing rocket and what we're doing -- collecting data. That'll help the Ares one designers and and the way we've done it just helps rocket science in general which of course pretty important to me."

" absolutely is that your business this thing on the launch pad behind you anything you can see it it's about the size of -- thirty some odd story building. The the whole game is over okay you're right that's kind of upon. His -- go up to make sure it separates correctly and stuff like that. But ultimately this particular rocket is what is what will carry men and women into space in the future as a replaces the space shuttle right."

" That's correct that what we're doing this is a flight test of an -- one like rocket. And we have 725. Some -- sensors on this rocket that -- to validate all the computer models that we've been doing in the wind tunnel models that we've done. And when you do all that you can feed this back to rocket designers in general or you get it there is one folks in the use it to make the rocket that will eventually carry astronauts even better. Cool well folks can see the launch October 27 8 AM we're gonna have a right here on Fox News Channel. John thank you very much for joining us today from -- Much of what Joe -- Let me offense -- you betcha."
