Thanks for sharing this news, it's a sure test for our commander and chief. I hope president Obama takes a closer look at our space program. Closing it is becoming a huge mistake for the president. Football Uniforms

[...] and vision-crushing failure of a program known as Ares 1, as Bob Werb explained in his recent Orlando Sentinel editorial. Not only will this NASA-designed and -operated plan for a rocket never fly; it is also dangerous [...]

To Marcel,

Depending op which core you envisage (8.3M diameter like the ET or 10M like Ares V) 6 SSMEs can barely lift it of the ground. Regardless, some bright spark would immediately suggest putting SRBs on it, after-all the pads at KSC are built for that.

Also one should consider what would the Orion do once it was up? – carrying an MPLM would be useful. Add 30,000lbs to the payload mass. No way to reuse it but there will be 2 left over from the Shuttle program.

Also one must consider that the US has absolutely NO plans for LEO activity after ISS. That is a VERY short window for any-one's plans.

Also a 4-person Orion is useless at ISS – it must revert to 6 persons for crew rescue or rotation.

Bob:

Sorry, but I must respectfully disagree.

This is a serious issue, and not something that can be decided based upon a smattering of glib oxymorons like 'rocket science". (It is Aerospace Engineering.)

Ares I is not perfect. It is real.

Ares 1 is not cheap. It was never designed to be so.

If you have something better (and we know that you honestly believe that you do), we would like to hear about it. But bashing NASA and putting forward blatant propaganda, rather than objectively examing the real promisises and limitaitons of alternatives, will do much more to promote the objectives of the SFF.

Honesty is the fine art of learning to trust the intelligence of others.

Cheers,
Nelson
