Just saw this video, thought I'd hear what you all had to say about it.

Some related stuff on YouTube (be sure to click "Watch in high quality" where available):
Ares 1x-V2.1 Test Flight Ares 1-Y_R1 Ares V launched 8 Meter Telescope Mission Concept Excellent CGI animation, I'm especially impressed by the billowing smoke effect on the launch pad, that's pretty hard to pull off realistically. -------------------- |

It might be this is an outdated video or (more likely) a capsule landing isn't doable with a suborbital flight due to range safety issues. The Cape launches head east and it's nothing but sea there. More so since the SRB is meant to splash down.
