Am I the only one who wonders what would happen if we gave a billion dollars to Scaled Composites and told them to make a launch system in three years?

It just doesn't make much sense to me to go back to designs that are assumed to have a twenty percent failure rate.

The new Ares rocket will be bigger and more powerful than the Saturn V

Saturn V - 7 million pounds thrust

Ares V - 10 million pounds thrust

Payload to orbit is bigger, too.
