My question is whether the US military currently has a human-rated launch vehicle capable of performing tasks such as lifting the Orion spacecraft. I can't imagine that the military have vehicles designed to convey people, as such. Then again, the Ares 1 that was specifically designed to lift Orion might make it into the military books, rather than the other way around. Does the military have anything close? The Challenger and Columbia disasters have somewhat increased NASAs insistance on this.
