I still hate the idea of using solid rocket booters to carry people. Something wrong with using power that can't be throttled.

Gives me the creeps too, but I think it is doable, and relatively safely. Another article goes into the proposed escape system, how it would have to be different and extremely reliable, more so than any ever designed.

I actually think that using solids might be more reliable and potentially safer than liquids. Yep, I know, I'm nutz...
