TheNASA 2009 Astronaut Candidate Class enlisting - for the first mission to the Moon in four 10 - may be over , but if you did n’t send your résumé , do n’t worry : you could still be a infinite couch spud and calculate at the pretty images and video , like this newly - release NASA simulation showing how the whole affair is go to act .

Rather than build a huge , expensive , and very complicated rocket carrying a smaller space ship - like the hefty Saturn did in the Apollo missions - the Constellation program will use two rocket to institutionalise a larger spacecraft . The first rocket salad will carry the lunar lander along with a propulsion stage into Earth orbit . The 2d one , the Ares I launch vehicle , will bear the Orion spaceship with the astronauts on board , which will be rendezvous with the lunar lander in orbit and dock . Once docked , the actuation stage will push the combined craft to the Sun Myung Moon and some lucky , smart , and brave spaceman would be able-bodied to say : “ It may not be the first step , and it certainly wo n’t be the last one . ” Or “ Oh boy , whooooopeeeee - doooo ! ”
Both work for me . [ Constellation Program ]
