Default Why does the shuttle throttle on ascent?

I read that. Nice double meaning. However I think Navy pilots get to 9
G's like AF Raptor pilots do. I was just explaining to the ones that
thought the max Q issue was 3 G's, which it is not.


This is true. Two different times to throttle on ascent for 2 different
reasons.
