Orion turned out to be pretty expensive. They originally planned for like five to six Ares I flights per year (2 Crew to ISS launches, 2 or 3 cargo ISS launches, 1 Lunar sortie), but it turned out that shit cost a lot of money. They eventually cancelled the cargo Orions in favor of commercial cargo (which meant only 3 Ares I’s launch per year). This was further down selected when Constellation removed the ISS from its long term plans, meaning only 1 Ares I/Orion would fly per year by the time the program ended.

Would’ve loved to see it fly though.

Speculation time: What happened? Why did the engine fail?

Ares I was awesome but horribly impractical. It would’ve flown Orion for the first time in 2015...three years after Dragon flew on Falcon 9 for 1/3rd the cost
