“Thrust oscillation vibrations”, a consequence of solid rocket booster technology. That’s one thing the Russians were never able to achieve, btw, as well as resuable liquid fuel rocket engines. The Ares V will include both.

Ack! That should be “launch,” not “lauch.”

Sorry about that typo.

Cheers

If the Ares rocket looks strangely familiar it's because it's nothing more than one of the Shuttle's solid fuel booster rockets with a capsule strapped on top.

As a former engineer at Johnson Space Center, I'm less than impressed.
