Neat trick, since NASA's original plan was launches at both the Cape
and Vandenberg...


That is a decent point. But Roger is right, there was definite thought
given to creating monolithic SRBs in Florida.

There were a lot of issues though as Jorge has mentioned, including how to
transport them and insure they were correctly cast.

All in all, I'm not sure I'd feel any more comfortable with a monolithic
solid.
