OT >> What type of rocket do you ride? Starting the engines and running for +6 seconds before lift off, must be a robust launch pad to handle that. << The Space shuttle's main engines are fired at T-6.3 sec it takes that long for them to achieve full thrust (470,000+ Lbs x 3) at that point the solids are fired at around t-0.0, it takes them about a nano second to reach full trust (2 million lbs).
