Not sure how long this has been in the works but about 12 years ago at my former employer, I made some heavy duty parts for the solid rocket engines.
A couple steel plates that were 48" x 60" and 6" thick ( just over two tons each) plus a rail system made out of 2" steel plate , 12" high that the pieces bolted together to be almost 30' long. The solid rocket fuel is a wet slurry when the booster bodies are filled. The heavy duty press squeezed the liquid out and then they were transported to a building away from everything and everybody to fully dry. |

You should look at pics of the Orion capsule compared to Apollo...things have come a very long way. I should add that as complicated as they were, the F-1 engines had zero problems and a perfect track record on the Apollo program. |
