A lamens' imagination here...<br /><br />My first thought when I viewed the lunar architecture for getting back to the moon was "why use a smaller rocket when you already have a big one?" The arguing going on about whether or not to use "the stick" or modifying a Delta rocket is moot. How much more capable would our moon missions be if we used two Ares V's for an earth rendezvous before going to the moon? Let SpaceX or whoever resupply the ISS and let's go to the moon with 8-10 people for long stays using the bigger rockets. Go big or go home I say. I just thought I'd muddy the waters a little more.<br /><br /><br />SLJ
