I've developed a (possible) solution for the Ares-1 "vibrations"
problem explained in my latest ghostNASA article:

http://www.ghostnasa.com/posts/022novibrations.html

about the "shock absorbing" seats for the astronauts, I've already
suggested it (six months ago) to allow (also) a LAND landing of the
Orion WITHOUT the (1.5 mT heavy) landing airbags:

(it's the sixth idea in the article)

that (also) can avoid to use the (VERY DANGEROUS) jettisoned TPS:

1. Wings won't work above 30 km much less 56 km.

2. There is no way wings can solve the vibration issue. The
vibration is fore and aft, not side to side

3. The early Ares versions had fins (see the ESAS) and were removed
since they were ineffective and dead dead

4. Moving them to the interstage makes no difference wrt #3

    ... As I saw it, the job of the TMD was to kill a vibrational frequency that was being input by the tyres under certain loading conditions - I understood that, like any other part of the suspension, its job was to keep the wheels in contact with the ground as much as possible, and that the aerodynamic effect was small and secondary - I'm not persuaded that there are significant gains to be had by reducing the vibration of the wings with a TMD - surely it would be much easier to simply design the wing not to respond to the frequency in question. ... Aero-flutter is distinct from what I termed "suspension movement-induced aero surface flutter", i.e. externally excited, not aero loads. ...
