And for those of you who do not even know what the constellation program is...which I'm sure are a lot of you.
Quote:
The main purpose of the Constellation program is to design and build the spacecraft for America's next generation of human spaceflight. The program's current projects arethe Ares I and Ares V launch vehicles, the Orion crew capsule, the Earth Departure Stage and the Altair lunar lander. Once completed these spacecraft will be able to perform all of America's duties in space such as supplying the ISS, to fulfilling its goals such as landing on the moon.
The main goals of the NASA's Constellation program are to keep an American presence in suborbital space, to return to the moon and hopefully establish an outpost, to prepare to explore Mars and possibly get humans there by 2050.
