Lol with what funding?

NASA has more experience with large payload and manned launches than anyone else. The ESA and Russia should be paying THEM to build a new craft.

Maybe get Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun cloned and see what he could do in that situation

Didn't we have plans to setup staging between an SRB and 2 liquid boosters that could get a capsule into orbit? Aires and Orion, I believe...

And of course there was the SDHLV Shuttle Derived Heavy Launch Vehicle - which could've also gotten a capsule up there
