Re: A true ESAS revolution: the ESAS +COTS +AresX moon missions!
.
NASA seems BELIEVE that COTS companies will succeed (in their effort to develop, build and launch low cost rockets and capsules) since has already given them $500M of funds, has opened the doors of its research centers, has included the COTS service in its flights manifest and will soon allow the COTS companies (first SpaceX) to launch their rockets from KSC, so... why don't MERGE (both) ESAS and COTS vehicles (also) for moon missions?
here my new idea/proposal: http://www.gaetanomarano.it/articles/029aresX.html

The solids would have to go side by side in two pair-as in Energiya's Zenit strap-ons.

yes, reducing the SRB/tank joint to half and having twice the SRB jettison reliability
