Wow pretty cool, wonder how that impacts certification. I am guessing there are multiple categories that a rocket system needs to pass checks in order to pass, so maybe they have a contingency for such cases.

Yeah, if I were the USSF, I'm not sure I would be comfortable putting a billion-dollar spy satellite atop Vulcan just yet. I'd probably want a bit more investigation into the GEM 63XL SRBs before giving them the stamp of approval.
