In any case it would be better to have a somewhat faster speed than slower speed in the test for safety reasons alone, if they wish to design their way around similar problems in the future. Do I remember Challenger? Too clearly most unfortunately, and I even remember the bag of Cheez Doodles I was consuming when it blew apart...
