It’s been awhile since I've written one of these articles. I could give you a big long list of all the really, really serious stuff that I've been doing instead, but that's just a bunch of feeble excuses. Instead, I'll just get down to business and give you a status report on the J-2X development effort.

Welcome to the J-2X Doghouse: Twist and Shout...and Steering Mar 05, 2012 05:11:05 PM | William D. Greene
 
Put a little kid into the driver's seat of a car and what's the first thing they do? They grab the steering wheel and twist. Twisting the steering wheel back and forth is just about the most intuitive, intrinsic sense of "driving" I can imagine. Now think of a launch vehicle blasting off the pad. Other than for some extreme, emergency conditions, there is nothing that stands in for the steering wheel on a launch vehicle during ascent. Without a steering wheel, per se, how does steering happen?

Five hundred seconds is exactly eight minutes and twenty seconds. That seems like a really long time when you're counting every second.
