Ares-I with working launch abort system

See picture 6. The Launch abort system is powered by vizzy.

What is Ares-1?

Ares I was the crew launch vehicle that was being developed by NASA as part of the Constellation program. The name "Ares" refers to the Greek deity Ares, who is identified with the Roman god Mars. Ares I was originally known as the "Crew Launch Vehicle" (CLV). NASA planned to use Ares I to launch Orion, the spacecraft intended for NASA human spaceflight missions after the Space Shuttle was retired in 2011. Ares I was to complement the larger, uncrewed Ares V, which was the cargo launch vehicle for Constellation. NASA selected the Ares designs for their anticipated overall safety, reliability and cost-effectiveness. However, the Constellation program, including Ares I, was cancelled by U.S. president Barack Obama in October 2010 with the passage of his 2010 NASA authorization bill.

Instructions should be self-explanatory, but I have some things you should know.

UPDATE: CHECK OUT MY NEW BUILD, THE ARES V HERE

NOTES

The first stage is literally an SRB. So that means no gimbal. To make up for this, I installed an RCS, but you still need to be cautious. BE STEADY WITH THE PITCH, or it will do some gnarly backflips. Keep it above 45 degrees pitch at all times.

Give me build requests in the comments.

    I hate docking with this. You forgot any RCS to go up and down (on the joystick (right)).
