Using a segmented solid was dumb from the start. Not to mention using a solid at all on a supposedly-reusable and/or human-carrying vehicle.

- vundercind 2y agoThe SLS uses old Shuttle SRBs. I assume the same ones with the post-Challenger 3-ring redesign that doesn’t fix the core problem at all. Jesus. Add it to the list of safety-related reasons I hope that nonsense project never makes a crewed flight.
- cryptonector 2y agoAfter reading TFA I also have this question: are the SLS boosters also using this 3 o-ring design?
- jccooper 2y agoSLS uses improvements made late in the Shuttle program. Lower temp materials and some larger diameters. Presumably that exact problem is fixed. Others? Who knows.
