Good poll. I am a big fan of the Ares V. I would have prefered different strap on boosters but what the heck, at 207 tons to LEO, I am not complaining.

Just voted for commercialising LEO, although its really half this and half "Mars or Bust".
Can only see limited potential for a lunar base, unless this is to pilot and eventually use operationally, a magnetic launch rail device, thereby giving better access to Mars and the rest of the Solar system.
Any manned lunar programme has got to be seen to be a sensible stepping stone toward humans on Mars, and putting humans on Mars only makes sense if it leads to a permanent outpost.
