| May 8, 2017 at 16:34 | comment | added | Anthony X | Is it correct that after some point in the launch, abort options become available in which the orbiter separates from the remainder of the stack and glides either to a runway somewhere or worst-case ditches at sea? If so, would those options open up at or before "negative seats", and could safe ejection be accomplished while the vehicle was on the pad? | |
