United Launch Alliance "Ares"

This basically a rework of my SLS-X rocket model to represent the launcher for the Enterprise space plane,

Following the successful test flight of SLS-1 in 2014 and the lunar landings beginning in 2016, the SLS rocket was transferred to the United Launch Alliance. ULA used the basic design of the SLS as a jumping-off point for the Ares and Ajax series of rockets, which were competitors to SpaceX's Falcon XX and Orbital Science Corporation's Jarvis. This particular variant represents the launcher of the Orion 22 crew to orbit prior to their mission to Mars in 2021.

Dude (I'd call you by name, but I'm bad at remembering, even though we're both at SSM), this is spectacularly AWESOME!!!! I love your use of the modified X-34 ship. It still gives me ides for my X-34 mods.

Keep it up!!!
