I wonder how much fuel it dumps

[yummpyummp]

@jayda406 lots

[ti994apc]

@jayda406 It does not dump any fuel. Its old fashioned solid rocket fueled rocket. Just like they use in model rockets. The rocket is basically a hollow tube with a big solid rocket engine inside that has a texture like glued together sand. That why there is so much smoke like a car running with bad gas. Solid fuel is good for missiles because there is no fuel storage involved. But its not as reliable or as elegant as its liquid fueled cousins.

I saw the smoke from this launch just outside of Richmond, Va from the 295 bridge over the James river.

Now that is what liftoff thrust-to-weight ratio is all about. I'm used to under-powered Delta IV's with the wimpy RS-68.
