Astronauts don't like the Atlas or Delta. The stick is about as safe as rockets that use solids to aid in launch. The most important point I would make is Bell doesn't know what he is talking about period.
Look anyone who starts an article out suggesting Griffin had to wait for Mars Society approval of some Machiavellian scheme is on drugs or knows nothing about government.
The Delta and Atlas would have to go thru man rating and would probably in the end cost as much as the Stick.
And as I said else where we have research and built RH-10s that use methane we have in fact doen as much resaerch as the Russians on the subject and won't need their research to make engines. The Moon's ices are those one would find in comets so methane production there make as much sense as on Mars. Bell is an idiot who compalian other don't do research before writting or talking...
