Well, thank you so much, CM! I was astonished at the difference the 5 strap-on solids made to the initial acceleration. When we launched the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on August 12 without the solids, it looked like slow motion compared to this launch!

The fact that it travelled OVER 16,000 mph simply blows my mind! I am in awe of the human intelligence that achieved this feat.
