constellation consternation

NASA's Ares 1-X rocket was heading for its launch pad earlier today, ready for a two minute test flight later this month.

But with money short, the future of the Constellation programme, intended to replace the existing space shuttle fleet, is now in doubt.

An expert committee reviewing manned space flight is expected to report back to the White House this week.

All our fingers are crossed, but if the report goes against, I guess we'll just have to wait for Zefram Cochrane.
