Bolden to review HLV study on Friday - Sidemount in doubt, In-line/SSME boost

It sounds like Ares I is finally, thankfully, dead. :-)

Unfortunately, returning to the moon is also dead. :-(

This will be replaced by a smaller Ares V than NASA wanted (similar to
Direct's Jupiter) and a flexible path plan which will have astronauts
exploring things like asteroids which don't have a deep gravity well like
the moon or Mars.

True, but money is going to dominate the discussion going forward. NASA
will not have enough money to develop two launch vehicles and Ares I is much
too small to launch anything bigger than Orion (and it's struggling during
R&D to even do that safely).
