The Ares I darn well should be. I mean, the Ares V is a good enough
concept for bulk launch, never mind that the Saturn V was carrying
arround 75% of the same payload in the late 60's, but sticking
Astronaughts on top of a rocket at this stage? Insane. Spaceplanes,
allready.

I'm guessing I wasn't clear and that you didn't
go through the list at the site. The poll is for
visitors to the site to rank the items in the "50
Best" list. When I was there #1 was what they
referred to as the "Electric Eye," #2 was the 60W
LED light bulb (no word on when they'll come out
with one to replace 100W bulbs here at least
60W aren't bright enough to light up the room
well enough from the ceiling fixture (even though
the ceiling is painted white) or to read by), and
bringing up the tail at #50 was the cloned puppy.
