ET in orbit
From: Pendleton at UTAH-20 (Bob Pendleton)
It has been proposed that the shuttles payload can be increased by
30 to 50% by replacing the steel solid rocket casings with carbon composite
casings.  This could solve the problem of placing the ET in a high orbit,
not to mention other desirable results.
