Since when has the Shuttle/Ares1-X SRB had anything to do with SLBMs?
Ok, they are both solids but is there really any other connection?

The real question is "Can it be patched?"
these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway...
feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hp.com but NOT BOTH...

Kent...this is Jesus, Kent.
Don't do it, Kent.
My father...you know, God...doesn't like the Stick.
He's very angry at you, Kent.
He's going to blight the crops Kent.
....and turn the Missouri River into blood. :-)

This is a Senator from North Dakota.
You want to know about the best way to eradicate wild oats, and why our
government should make that a national funding priority, he's your man.
But to him "solid fuel rockets" of "various sizes" means the difference
between a-dollar-a-dozen bottle rockets, and those big suckers that that
drop the little American flag back to earth under the parachute that
can cost up to $2.00 each. :-)
