I have a question about the SRB's. The way I understand it is that 
once the are lit that the continue burning till all of the fuel is 
consumed. My question is, what happens if only one SRB ignites and the
other one doesn't. Is there a way to extinguish them on the ground 
that dosn't apply once the shuttle is in flight.  Also what happens 
if a SRB accidentaly ignites while the shuttle is being transported
or is sitting on the lunch pad?
