Sprint accelerated at 100 Gs, HiBex at 400 and HEDI at 200. There is
a video clip on the DVD Nukes In Space taken from a distance of a
Sprint launch and that thing is MOVING.
Like a proverbial bat out of hell...it would be interesting to see how
Sprint's guidance system was able to take this, as this was before the
advent of the laser ring gyro.
