Any info on the original? Am unaware of this story
Man I'm starting to fall behind on Manley's videos! Going to fix that now, thanks for the prompt.
Wow pretty cool, wonder how that impacts certification. I am guessing there are multiple categories that a rocket system needs to pass checks in order to pass, so maybe they have a contingency for such cases.
Yeah, if I were the USSF, I'm not sure I would be comfortable putting a billion-dollar spy satellite atop Vulcan just yet. I'd probably want a bit more investigation into the GEM 63XL SRBs before giving them the stamp of approval.
Back fell off
Is that supposed to happen?
That's not very typical, no.
I mean, "the back fell off" is kind of the entire concept of rocket stages, so in a way, it is typical. They usually have to fall off in the correct sequence, at the correct time, and in one piece though.
it had some of failure but it made it up anyways
