Nice job with article 4. The only thing I found wrong was you need to title your articles. Also the missing citations should be fixed. Get the 5 and 6 done.

Ares is yet another step closer to the moon, even with the idea still undergoing testing. Recent information says that the test date in April will need to be delayed, due to construction problems and research. I found the article helpful but slightly repetitive. Ideas were reiterated by various experts, but the only thing evident was that there needs to be improvements made to the launch pad to aid in the rockets stability. I also found it interesting that while designing the rocket, they couldn't have come up with the idea that it would be insanely top-heavy and unstable, with a first stage (Bottom) base of only 13 feet. These wind tunnel tests were critical to the mission in many ways, first, it would have been beyond disasterous if they had Ares on the launch pad, and it simply fell over.

Ares Wind Tunnel Tests

-Tests resemble much like the Apollo era testing.
-Stability of the rocket while on the launch pad a major concern for NASA officials.
-Experts stay that while the Rocket is being transported from the VAB (Vehicle Assembly Building), it can stay upright in 47 knot winds, if traveling at .9 miles per hour.
-Ares to be 325 feet tall. Over twice the height of a space shuttle.
-Winds factor because of the work that needs to be done to the rocket, even when its on the launch pad.
-Ares can sway up to eight feet in the wind without falling, but much more than three inches can prevent crews from working on the rocket safely.
