Pretty much. the timescales involved with the Falcon rocket were longer than we wanted, it was unlikely to deliver us 2015 car with a rocket. Nammo can along at the perfect time, they are developing a motor the perfect size for year one running, & cluster of the same rocket will be used for year two.and cluster of the same rocket?
COOOOLLLLLLLL

How many rockets can you fit in? It looks to me like you will need at least four to get the thrust you are after (equivalent to the North Star Aurora rocket stage) and five will not pack so tightly within a circular cross section.
3 OR 4.Final decision likely to be made once we've characterized the car performance & will be confirmed after year 1 running.

If they burn at a different rate will it steer the car off to one side ? How do you compensate ?
Strain gauged load ring will detect asymmetric burn way before it's noticeable & the system will call an abort run.IN51GHT said:

Excellent podcast, thanks for that (and Gaz!).
Was a bit odd, being interviewed by a chap i used to watch on TV when I was younger, with Gilbert the alien. Gareth would/could make a great program on video rather than just Podcasts and be very watchable and entertaining.
