Simple. Take one universe, and...

Essentially, you can't. What the LHC and similar experiments are trying to do is to duplicate conditions, albeit on a very small scale, as they existed at the beginning, making observations, and either substantiating our current understanding, or leading the way to how things might be different than how we've extrapolated them to be.

If I set the budget, we'd have Ares and more. Unfortunately, I don't set the budget, and Ares is just too expensive and too far out for us to accomplish our goals within the budget we were given.

If we halt the ISS, all versions of Ares, and transport Orion and Altair aboard DIRECTv3's Jupiter family of Shuttle-Derived Launch Vehicles, we just might make it back to the Moon by 2020.
