The name Ares might strike fear into the hearts of those to which it is uttered, it might instill massive pride in a NASA engineer, or it might induce a conversation with your seemingly mute teenage brother. Ares might not be all things to all men, but it is many things to some.

The Greek god Ares – the guy after which all these other things were named – was a god of war. He was the Greek equivalent of the Roman’s Mars; although Mars was actually liked among the Gods while Ares seems to have been spurned as a harbinger of terror, slaughter, murder, and other nasty things.

NASA’s Ares rocket is currently being designed as the launch component of the so called Project Constellation which will launch when NASA returns to our moon in 11 years’ time. So don’t expect to hear much about it just yet.

Your teenage brothers’ favorite piece of software is the P2P filesharing version of Ares. Neither rocket nor fearsome deity, the software nonetheless enables people to share music, videos and other files without getting caught by their college campuses. Thank goodness for Ares!
