That looks quite a bit like the Ares V. Is it? The article didn't say either way.

[edit]: Wiki says: "The NASA Authorization Act of 2010 envisions the transformation of the Ares I and Ares V vehicle designs into a single launch vehicle usable for both crew and cargo." So I guess kind've, even though it sure as hell looks like the latter, just with new paint.
