The o rings are essential for the multiple component, reusable, solid rocket boosters. Politicians scrubbed the manned lift vehicle to get the shuttle up and so the cheaper wild Mister Toad ride with solid rockets solution. Texas = worst case situation ;^) Certain engineers recommended that no flight be made at certain low temperatures.

That being said,MOST cars are overpriced. Compare a small base model BMW to a small Hyundai with all the options (so its a closer comparison). Whats the REAL difference. Not as much as the price would suggest. Everyone talks about how the Volt will be expensive. Thats ok,just make sure its has good options and a nice interior. In other words,a Tesla roadster is "overpriced" compared to a Prius. If Volt costs 40k,but has the same options any other 40k car comes with,then its a car in that class. Its not over priced. Instead, its a car in that price range that on top of all that,has a really cool electric power train. Personally,I think they should have taken a cue from Tesla Motors. Their idea was that you cant make an electric car cheaper than a gas car right now. You can however make a electric car that performs BETTER than a gas car. In this case,perform better means better gas mileage. Yes,many purchasers of such cars want the raw power. Thats ok. Then there are people who want the gas milage,not because of cost,but becuase we are concerned with the environment. In other words,they may have 100k to spend on a car,but they still refuse to buy a Cadillac Escalade because they just wont drive a vehicle like that. They buy a Prius with all the options. (Personally,I think there should be a Lexus for those people) Maybe the Volt should have been a Caddi. Keep in mind,the Prius was way overpriced as well. That being said,MOST cars are overpriced.
