gladiator1332 - 16/8/2005 12:30 PMI read somewhere that they even considered up to 6 SRBs. Kinda like the NOVA monsters they were considering for awhile during the Apollo days. I assume something that large would have to be launched off the cost of Florida on a large sea platform...like a scaled up sea launch.
What do you mean "overkill"? Do you mean just the notion of have six SRBs strapped onto a booster, or is it too much of an engineering problem, considering G's? I'm sure that sounded unintelligent, but I'm interested.
