I know the Shuttle/Titan program takes extreme care when working around the SRB segments. Always grounded and you wear static retardent clothes. They basically are large este rocket segments and static charges are a serious concern. In fact a pam motor lit off in a clean room back in the late 70's on the CCASF side of the river. A piece of plastic was used to cover the motor and as it was pulled off a static charge ignited the motor before it was to be spun up for balancing on a satelite. Very ugly events. You have heard of the old hercules which is now allaint, the powder co????
I always heard that that conpression and static charges requires the ignition to take place,but if you ever got rid of old powder a match will lite off very easy..... never tried electicity. How many of you older guysknow any amatuer rocketeers w/ fingers missing....
I won't ever take the chance.
