One of the udnerlying ideas behind Ares is to separate the cargo and
crewed vehicles instead of doing it all in one. So having separate
launchers makes sense.
The very idea that separating crew from cargo for ISS missions is silly to
me.
That was one of the dumber (among many dumb ones) "lessons" learned
from the Shuttle.
It wasn't ISS "cargo". It was other payloads unrelated to the crew
Why is that relevant?
Let me expand.
Every time an airliner takes off, it carries cargo not only unrelated
to the crew, but even unrelated to the passengers. It's their own
version of Fedex, using excess cargo capacity to carry cargo in their
excess cargo capacity. It has rarely caused
any problems. This remains a dumb "lesson learned."
