NASA's Ares Rocket Gets Accolades!

NASA's Ares Rocket topped the list of Time magazine's Best Invention of 2009! This recognition came on the heels of the Ares I-X test flight in October. The Ares Rocket is under development at the Marshall Space Flight Center here in Huntsville.

Sen. Richard Shelby said that this recognition is a well-deserved recognition for NASA and its engineers.

To quote Senator Shelby: “This is hard-earned and well-deserved recognition for NASA and its legion of talented scientists and engineers that are developing the Ares rocket. This honor underscores the great progress and critical importance of the Ares rocket to the Constellation program. As the White House and Congress deliberate the future of American space flight, I will continue to fight to see that this successful program is continued for the future of human space flight."
