Ares Rocket logo


I think Ares is the rocket that is the planned vehicle for getting people to Mars. It recently won Time magazine's invention of the year. I thought for sure that it would be something in the medical field this year. This basic technology seems kind of old to be getting invention of the year in 2009, but there must be some under-pinning that I am missing. I read on the alcoa website that the use of aluminum played a critical role in making this possible.
