Ares project manager Steve Cook believes there is a “clear gap in support for NASA” in the 18-24 age group, ahead of the Office of Strategic Analysis and Communications (OSAC) arrival at Constellation to address the problem.
Cook was speaking in his weekly notes, which also noted the designing and building of a Jumbo Drop Test Vehicle (JDTV) for Ares First Stage parachute testing, and another change being implemented on the Ares I Upper Stage.
