Because of that, I realize that you, and certain others, should very well know it will not take Ares V or equivalent to lift Orion. Most importantly I also realize that you, and others, should very well know what is called out, and how, in the 2010 Authorization Act. The J-130 will only get the Orion to LEO.

Shuttle could be stretched to provide a bit of cushion to ISS until commercial is running and there is some confidence behind it. How do you stretch Shuttle when you do not have the ETs needed to fly?Shuttle is history. (And, no, it was not Obama who killed it.)And yes, he was. He was the one that allowed shuttle to cross the "tipping point", which happened well into his presidency, without any concrete alternatives. Hence, the GAO report and the ranking the STS program received during the transition.

This is the actual performance of the J-130:Delivery Orbit: 30.0 x 100.0 nm at 51.6°Payload w/ regular NASA GR&A's: 159,777 lbs (72,474 kg)That's a lot more than just Orion, a *lot* more.
