Brains, who wants brains! Rarely used! Almost as new!
Well, from the article I posted, is it too late to cancel Ares I? It's either that or the Delta IV. But, at this rate, Ares V and Altair need to be re-done (or, as in the article, the Ares I can be modified).
I do prefer going to the moon, however, than having no other plans for space exploration currently.
Is it too ambitious building a moon base using Constellation? It calls for sending four people to the surface of the moon with a significantly larger LEM, lunar transportation, and a habitable module.
Though, what makes Orion so much better than the rest of the program? I've never really followed these reasons (Ares I is too far behind schedule?). It's a capsule with solar panels, more like the Soyuz.
Where is the evidence that Ares I will be much more expensive? The first trip to the moon was over-budget, especially the LEM.
