[sci.space.shuttle] max aerodynamic pressure

I do not have my Rodgers Commission Vol 1 with me at the moment, but I
recall that max q is somewhere around the 750 psi level. I will double
check on this and repost later on this evening.

Does anyone know at what altitude that Max-Q occurs?

As I recall, the Challenger accident happened right
after Max-Q - was this a significant factor?
