Other than the SRB casings, this thing has very little in common
with the actual Ares I design. It's actually a shuttle SRB (four
segment) with a dummy SRB segment on top to "simulate" a five
segment SRB. Of course, everything above the first stage is also
dummy parts to "simulate" an upper stage and an Orion capsule.

Aren't you leaving-out the RCS (?) bits in place to keep the thing
from tumbling arse over teakettle?

Jeff isn't interested in honesty or integrity. He's got an axe to
grind and an agenda to promote.
