	There were definately SRB's on Moonraker shuttles... I have
	read an article on the special effects of Moonraker (in Cinefex
	I believe) that described the dificulties in handling the VERY
	*HOT* model SRB's....  they developed a mechanism to allow the
	solid motors drop out of the SRB shells as soon as the shot
	was done, to prevent the heat from damaging the shuttle model.
