we don't need all three versions now, since the orbital version must be ready to fly within 6-7 years, the lunar version within 12-15 years and the Mars version within 30+ years...

Re: EASY ways to CUT the Orion's weight >>>

I've redesigned my ghostNASA.com Blog and changed its purpose from a "virtual Space Agency" to a place where publish my opinions about Space (of course, there is a link to NewMars in the blog's home page)

Re: EASY ways to CUT the Orion's weight >>>

.

as explained in this article:

http://www.ghostnasa.com/posts/004nasaesas.html

the recent NASA decisions have put a big TOMBSTONE on ALL "alternative" ESAS rockets

the main consequence of the DEFINITIVE choice to adopt the current Ares-I design, is that every (present or future) problem to match the Ares-I power with the Orion weight, can't be solved adding more power to the Ares-I (changing its design or the full rocket) but ONLY cutting the Orion's mass in different ways, like those I suggest in my article:

http://www.gaetanomarano.it/articles/031easyways.html

and this is my opinion about the Lunar Helium-3 mining:
