It is estimated that at it's current design the Ares V will produce 10 million lbs. of thrust at launch. In comparison, the Saturn rocket was an average of 7.5.

This beast consumes approx. 1 ton of propellant a second, and gives not a poof of CO2. Just water vapour. This has to be the future - burning hydrogen. So beautiful in it's simplicity.

@Dittlelifferent - I hate to say it but Obama sexed up this space plan as bad as George Bush did. Possibly worse since the main problem with CxP was more so Bush's utter lack of funding than a lack of a destination or lack of a plan for a craft necessary to get things where they need to go. But then again Bush can't be credited with that since he didn't come up with the plan.

Right now Congress and the White House are just blowing smoke to keep up the appearance of NASA.

@Dittlelifferent - I dunno. It depends. Obama's HLV is pretty much worthless since there's nowhere to go with it yet he wants it flying by 2016. He wants to go to an asteroid but the Orion spacecraft cannot do that on its own. It needs a large ship to take it there (like "The Messiah" from Deep Impact) and there's absolutely no money in the tube for such a ship. There isn't even enough money to build Obama's DIRECT J-130 HLV and there appear to be no plans to increase funding sufficiently.

@tlages it hurt someones mind... there wont be the ares 5 anymore.

Now imagine the Ares V with 5 of these bad boys, and 2 SRB's. That's so mind blowing it hurts.
