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

Even if you could be sure they would not get in the way, the aerodynamic
anduneven structural loads etc, would pull the whole thing apart.

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.


There is no such abort mode. I am certain of this.
