    What falls off the bottom of the booster before it makes contact with the water?
    They blow off part of the aft exit cone with linear charges (I've actually installed a few of them myself) to help keep too much water from going into the empty booster cases.

    Hey Lewiville... How did you or where do you find more links. I was trying to find some more to watch with my son last night but kept getting links to companies selling videos.

    Do you work for Morton Thiokol, or what was once Morton Thiokol which is now Alliant Techsystems or should I say ATK Launch Systems?
