Comparison of Delta IV, Aries 1 and Atlas V

Where can I go for a web page that has a direct comparison of the
Aries 1 payload capability versus the Delta iV Heavy and the Altas V?

I'm not sure.

But minor rant here (and not directly solely at you since many others ahve
done it.)

It's Ares. As in the Greek god of war. Not Aries as in the Ram.

(though Griffin is trying to ram it down people's throat.)

How can you possibly compare that which you cannot spell and which does
not exist?

It's hard to compare the two since they have completely different missions.
That said, I think NASA's ESAS report looked at them. But people have been
complaining that this report lacks some of the detils which are contained in
(missing) appendices:

http://www.nasa.gov/directorates/esm...AS_report.html

I think you want:

Part 6: Launch Vehicles and Earth Departure Stages (6.5 Mb PDF)

**** yuo.

Ares I - imaginary launch vehicle

America - imaginary democracy.

Americans - the dumbest mother****ers in the room.

The only ways they can be compared is by payload/cost. As the costs of the
Ares are not known, we cannot do a comparison; that's one of the (several)
problems I'm having with the Ares program - there are no published figures
for launch cost - even for the proposed commercial version.

Hahaha hahaha ahaha ... and they can't even spell it right.

A nation simply cannot get much ****ing dumber than America right now.

The dumbest nation on Earth.

Possibly the universe.

There's also a direct comparison between all three vehicles in section
1.5.1 (Part 1)

Please be aware that this is the "bait" Ares I of the "bait and switch"
which Griffin pulled on all of us. For Ares I, ESAS assumed a four segment
SRB topped with an air started SSME powered upper stage. This has been
replaced with a five segment SRB topped with a much less efficient J-2X
powered upper stage. Performance of Ares I has suffered as its development
has progressed.

Also, I would not trust all of the EELV information in there. It's dated,
at the least.
