Uhhh, what was the question exactly? :-)

The rockets on Sky One certainly *look* like solid rockets because
that's undoubtedly what they used to film the miniature effects. :-)
However, it wouldn't seem like a very practical solution, because
what do they do between launches? Does the old solid rocket get
ejected and Skydiver plugs in a new one? At least with liquids, all
they need to do is refill the tanks...
