Another way to use up the SRBs is to use them as boosters one at a time. Simply strap a second stage on top of one solid motor. You will have to add an adapter over the current motor nose. If the motor leaks a little, you don't care, because there is nothing next to the motor to be bothered. No bending loads either, since there are no SSMEs thrusting at an angle. -- Dani Eder / Boeing / Space Station Program / uw-beaver!ssc-vax!eder (205)464-4150(w) (205)461-7801(h) 1075 Dockside Drive #905 Huntsville, AL 35824 34 40 N latitude 86 40 W longitude +100m altitude, Earth
