I remember watching the Ares-1X launch a few years ago at work and I said the same thing to a colleague - that it was history in the making and that the next American to walk on the Moon would ride an Ares-1.
Now I'm even more skeptical especially as this isn't even Orion's real launch vehicle and SLS doesn't even have a solid reference mission - fly some astronauts to an asteroid we've already captured and moved to an orbit around L2 sometime in the 2030s isn't quite as refined a target as: Man - on Moon - in 10 years
