   I work at a NASA facility and I agree 100%. The only thing missing is the requisite army of safety people……..to ensure the same outcome.

   The whole video is fun, and shows unintentionally shows how venting the case in the Titan III SRBs would have worked as far as cutting back combustion as the internal pressure falls.

     Note the sharks visible at the 7 minute mark. That sort of thing would play hell with modern “eco friendly” testing requirements.

       I never noticed that before!
       Yeah, there are three sharks up there, aren’t there?
       The gull in this SUBROC launch photo is getting a bit of a surprise also:
