also an SRB4 + SSME based Ares-1 CAN'T FLY with a so heavy Orion
--
After the Ares 1-X debacle and the expected stellar R&D costs and very long development time of the Ares-1, there are some rumors that talk about a possible return to the original Ares-1 design (published in the ESAS plan in 2005) with a standard SRB as 1st stage and a 2nd stage based on a (now unexisting) "air started SSME". -- But, as explained in the latest update of my "Why the Ares-1 is already DEAD" article, also the old designed (SRB4 + SSME based) Ares-1 CAN'T FLY with a so HEAVY Orion. -- http://www.ghostnasa.com/posts2/058ares1dead.html -- |
