Footnotes:

Ares I was expected to become the third human space launcher 
developed entirely by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space 
Administration (NASA).[1]  Ares I was developed to do just one 
job - launch the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle.  Orion was 
planned to carry on NASA's human spaceflight efforts after 
Space Shuttle was retired in 2010.  The launch vehicle and its 
Orion payload were canceled along with the Ares 5 and the 
Constellation Program on February 1, 2010.

The precursor "Ares I-X" suborbital test flight, successfully 
performed on October 28, 2009 from KSC LC 39B, used an existing 
four-segment RSRB fitted with a dummy fifth segment.  This first
stage was topped by dummy interstage, second stage, and Orion 
boilerplate hardware.  A live roll control system in the 
interstage was active during the flight.  The $450 million test 
included stage separation and parachute recovery of the booster 
stage.
