Re: Is it possible to release the SRBs before they burn out?

I imagine in theory it is, as they are often still burning at sep anyway,

centre of gravity and loading would do. Why do you ask?

I was thinking that I had heard that you could. Obviously, once lit,
there's no stopping them but I thought I had heard about an abort
option to get rid of them instead of trying to shut them down like you
would a liquid-fueled engine.
