NASA’s new space vehicle is ready for
testing! For the 1st time in twenty five years, a brand new space rocket is prepped and ready in NASA’s Kennedy Space Center Vehicle Assembly Building. The projects name is the Ares I-X rocket, it has a crew program that is 100 percent simulated and contains a launch abort program. They are put together on a mobile launching area at the Kennedy Space Center in getting prepared for this fall when the launch will occur. The Ares I-X is put together with over seven hundred different sensors to maintain data during the couple minute test flight. This test launch will give NASA a great opportunity to demonstrate and test the area facilities, parts, and operations dealing with the Ares I launch crew vehicle. The data that is recorded during the test launch will give NASA the ability to gather important information while in ascent of the Orion spacecraft as well as the Ares I. Currently, the Ares I-X is assembled, and multiple tests and evaluations will be taken on every system of the rocket, even the monitoring of the complex systems on these vehicles that consistently measure the every one of the vehicle’s movements as it takes off and the it goes through the numerous stages. The testing includes a complicated trial named “modal testing,” that will move the stack just enough to test rigidity of the vehicle, and includes all the joints of the rocket.

So, is Ares/Warez P2P the ace of base of file-shairng? Certainly not, as comparable networks such as the Manolito P2P network still manage to out perform it in many areas. However, for many of the aforementioned reasons, it is clear that having constant upgrades and a strong community is just as important as a resourceful client. Ares has much growth a head of it, however it is clear that it is no longer the lacking community it was even 6 months ago. Search results are very thorough, and downloads no longer take a light year to complete. Slyck looks forward to the continued development of this network, and if Ares can maintain its vigor, it is very possible it may be the next community to join the million-user club.
