I’m not a huge space buff.  But I can’t help but be amazed by the space programme and I’m always interested in launches of new craft.  I’ve been listening to NASA TV for a couple of days while they went through the process of test launching the new Ares I-X Rocket, and they got it off the ground today.

There’s a longer video on the NASA TV site, but I can’t seem to generate a direct link, and certainly can’t embed it.  Here’s the link to their main site and you can find the video under Most Recent, Ares I-X Lifts Off on Flight Test.
