I can’t help but wonder just how different the world today would be if this had been built back then. Amazing bit of work!
spacetoday.net: Ares 1 vibration worries eased
Uh, yea. The vibrations aren’t strong enough to cause problems but they are looking into shock absorbers both on the engine and even on the seats. If the problems are severe enough for the seats to need vibration damping, what is gonna be the effect on EVERYTHING else thats on board? Something tells me that there is more to this that they are trying to gloss over.
The links to newspaper articles give a LOT more info on both the problem and the proposed solutions. Seems the same general type of oscillations caused one of the early unmanned Saturn V test rockets to fail.
