According to this some aerospace company is using a modified liberty rocket to go into low earth orbit and back, what do you guys think?

Please, don\'t comment on how its fox news.

Science related things are probably one of the few articles I\'d actually read from fox news

And America does need to get moving in the space arena, unless they want to be left behind by China and Russia

Hmmm, In this bad times for NASA, is this a good solution.

BTW, did you not read it is a SRB as first stage with a Ariane 5 core stage as second stage?

\'No, all i read is that its made by the guys who made the SRBs for some NASA projects, and that its supposed to go into orbit.

O really? have you read it completely?

In September, ATK completed a full-scale test of Liberty\'s five-segment solid motor — the world\'s largest solid rocket motor, which was originally designed to be the first stage of the Ares 1 rocket that NASA planned to use to launch the Orion capsule on trips to the moon. The rocket was shelved after the agency\'s moon-bound Constellation program was scrapped.

Liberty will use the original Ares 1 engine as a first stage and European aerospace firm Astrium\'s workhorse Ariane 5 rocket as the second stage. The massive Liberty rocket will tower at 300 feet (91 meters) tall, company officials have said
