First of the IFA Review articles for 129 via the PRCB review this week - 12 presentations available on L2.

Included as many images as possible, as ATK really do produce great presentations.

I appreciate the good note in this article about the booster's safety record. Any viable alternative to Ares I will be reinventing the wheel and would still use these amazing boosters.

Good one Chris. I particularly like the 'decimated' reference for worker losses, as tragic as it sounds, as well as its repercussions. Drives it home.

Would anyone have a hi res copy of the article photo?
It's a great shot & would be a great addition to the thread.

Not hi res, just a screenshot from a video on L2.

Thanks for the article. I like how the mission coverage doesn't stop with wheels stop.
