Internal NASA Email from Constellation manager Jeff Hanley to JSC Center Director Mike Coats
“Page 12 “In the Ares I plus Ares V system planned by Constellation, the Ares I launches the Orion and docks in LEO with the Altair lander launched on the Ares V. This is the system planned by the Constellation Program. It has the advantage of projected very high ascent crew safety, but delays the development of the Ares V heavy lift vehicle until after the independently operated Ares I is developed.”
. Great heavy sigh.
. This paragraph demonstrates either an intentional mischaracterization of the facts or a clear lack of understanding of Constellation.”
