I guess I read something wrong, because I was under the impression folks were wanting to venture to the Asteroid Belt (a dangerous task). Exploring space fascinates me, so I would be grieved if the Ares V were to be cancelled. <br /> Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

So we would still be talking about days, not years. Also, the current development that has been done, hence all the money spent, would not be wasted, as the current architecture would be used. They're just debating location, not methods. NASA wants to do both, but can only afford one. Personally, I'd rather see us get stuck on the moon, then do a few sorties on asteroids and the moon, and watch the Ares V get cancelled...
