What about the Shuttle.

Would that monster rocket even notice a two-pound warhead exploding back at the edge of its exhaust plume? I don't know the answer to that, but I doubt it. The lethal range of the Stinger is probably less than the size of the plume.

Maybe, maybe not, but any kind of debris could hit the central fuel tank and then ****.
