Quickie question.... although technically solids aren't throttle-able, and therefore inherently more dangerous, has any of the issues with the shuttle failures been directly linked to solid problems? The latest was 'foam' from the liquid fuel tank, before that some ""o" rings.... so have the solid boosters actually been a problem? ******* The "O" rings are part of and inherent to the solids. The "Piggy back" configuration is the issue. Shep
