We've seen the architectures.
As noted before,
1) Griffin's Moon plan was initially intended as little more than a test of components for manned flight to Mars.
2) The architecture was set up for Thiokol - You don't fly a heat shield to the surface of the Moon and back up again.
3) Solid launcher abort mechanisms are poor - sudden detonations, and all that.
4) Griffin share(d) the desire to kill ISS as soon as possible, to "free upr" funds to fly men to Mars, and in doing so thoroughly upset the international partners in ISS
5) The economy is in bad shape, and likely to get worse.
Obama has already called for a change in course in manned spaceflight expenditures.
6) NO effort has been put into Ares 5.
7)The CEV is currently dependent on the Ares 1.
8) The only likely end product of the current Ares 1 effort is likely to be a rocket for the rapid replacement on orbit of defense satellites.
9) Griffin still stands in contempt of the Congress for failing to carry out the George Brown Ammendment
Any ideas about what the next Administration should do when it takes office?
I doubt if hacking into the Florida anti-nuke peoples' computers will do anything but make them angrier.
and by the way, Russia asked China for help on its probe to one of Mars' moons. China said yes. China is not "launching" these. They have other things to do with their money.
