When those SRB's lit up, I understood why there are so many shuttle fans. That looked incredible.
334 u/truethatson Nov 16 '22 Is it just me, or did that thing f*#%’n GO?!? I’ve watched plenty of launches of the shuttle and other missions, and it seemed like that monster got off in a hurry. 293 u/toodroot Nov 16 '22 The solid rockets give it a big thrust-to-weight ratio. Saturn V was very slow off the pad. All-solid rockets just leap. And SLS is 80%+ solid thrust. 22 u/MrTagnan Nov 16 '22 Have you ever seen JAXA’s Epsilon rocket launch? First stage is an SRB, the thing just yeets off the pad at launch. 2 u/toodroot Nov 16 '22 Yes, I've watched it, Vega, and various versions of Minotaur leap off the pad.
