@hurbt1980 There is no motor involved with solid fuel. You just light it and let it go until it burns out. Most of the big failures after 1990 have been a rocket that had solid fuel. It is also not a good idea to launch people with an SRB. Since it cannot be turned off it would require a monumental escape system.
The best thing about this (as a matter of fact very dangerous) thing is the lady saying "we just had an anomaly at the Delta II launch vehicle".... Makes me wanting to say "Sheesh, it's not an anomaly, it's a friggin' explosion!!". That's like a police officer doing his officer talk 'The individual was carrying.." or "The perpetrator...". :)
hmm I wonder why the person on the radio was so calm about a deadly explosion

From Shuttle to Delta II, using solid rocket fuel has always been a mistake.

@ti994apc because you have invented a lighter more power dense rocket motor?

It seems like if a Delta rocket is either carrying a weather sattelite or an important military one, it likes to explode
