I attended an IAP (Independent Activities Period) lecture at MIT
in 1978, where the NASA guy said that IF enough systems failed,
and an STS launched with only 1 SRB, that the shuttle motors
could gimbol enough to one side, for the shuttle to fly (in an
arc trajectory) high enough to release tank and SRB's and land.
Can SRB motors also gimbal?  Was this guy mis-informed?
