Yes, but I don’t think liquid fuel rockets even need O ring seals. It’s just one more thing that can go wrong due to the complex requirements of controlling a solid fuel reaction.

You know, I've always wondered why they don't cast the solid fuel rocket in one piece instead of in segments, thus eliminating the problematic O-rings. It must be a transportation issue.
