AresProject.com is the home site for the novel In the Shadow of Ares by Thomas L. James and Carl C. Carlsson.
About the Name: The term “Ares Project” derives from the backstory to the novel, in which a joint US-Russian program sends the first five crewed exploration missions to Mars in anticipation of later settlement activity. Oddly enough, our use of the term in this context predates NASA’s choice of “Ares” for its (now canceled) Constellation Program rockets by approximately two years.
