Quating Steve Lindsey - NASA Liar : "NASA spent several years studying
architectures and researching every available commercial rocket"


I believe he (Steve) is right, although I'm starting to question the wisdom
of using the SRB for the Ares's first stage. It seems it's generating more
problems than it solves. Why couldn't they have taken another liquid fueled
engine? What options are there, anyone know?
