Hi Thomas, Yes, on the launches they always report altitude, time and down range. So at some time they do not go directly vertical. I am not sure if the solid rocket boosters are ejected at the same time as the external fuel tank or before. Wonder if they recover any of that stuff out of the ocean or if it is all at the bottom of the ocean. Same for the different stages of the Saturn rockets which launched all of the Apollo missions. Not sure if it were Saturn rockets for the Gemini and Mercury missions though.
