I don't know about G's but the shuttle adjust the engine thrust
up and down at various times in the launch based on the dynamic
pressures involved.


"'Go' for throttle up."

My generation's equivalent of "Where were you when Kennedy got shot?"


Even after many successful launches, always worry when I hear those words...
