It is kind of funny. more will be spent on this launch (for 2 minutes of flight give or take) then Elon Musk has spent so far on his entire effort to develop Falcon 9 and he is going to try and go to orbit late November (give or take).

One has to say that it ought to be a question: How does a slow moving cargo ship drift into the range safety box without being anticipated and cause a weather window to be missed and eventually a scrub? These are expensive exercises and tough questions need to be asked. I bet if you go near that box tomorrow (or whenever), you are like to be met with a flotilla and an air force and will be lucky to escape some form of sanction.
PLUS, I WANTED A LAUNCH!

The Ares 1-X is part of the latest attempt by NASA to develop a shuttle followon. There have been quite a few attempts in the past, this one has gotten farther then most.
The Ares 1 will (if it is built and that is iffy) have a 5 segment solid rocket booster as its first stage and a second stage with a modified J-2 on it (the Saturn third and second stage engine).
The 1-x is really a "test" vehicle. The only active part of it is an old Shuttle SRB (which is a four segment solid), a dummy fifth segment and the rest is all boilerplate. The flight will last under 2 minutes. So far it has cost over 600 million dollars. The entire project to date has consumed 9 billion more. The actual vehicle will be as expensive as the shuttle to launch. (if that can be believed)
There are a number of "what ifs" ...no one has ever human rated a vehicle with a solid first stage. The USAF looked at doing that with the MX and figured out that the thing would shake the crew very badly. But the "rocket scientist" at NASA are smarter then everyone else and they think that they ahve the pogo issues solved. Some good guesses are that the vehicle will have pogo of about 10 percent of thrust...that would be a pretty tough ride.
Of course the USAF is not for sure that it wont hit the tower on launch...so who knows.

Bob. It happens all the time on both the high seas and in the air. Both planes and ships try and cut the corner as tightly as possible and sometimes "nick" it...most of the time it is just people who unintentionally got a little close. Both the FAA and USCG are usually pretty forgiving about it.
