   Odd request, considering that SRB segment reuse is the norm, not the   
   exception.   
      
   One bit of trivia.  The parachutes for the SRB's have to be washed between   
   flights, due to their being dunked in salt water at the end of every flight.   
   That task must require the world's largest washing machine.  ;-)
