David;
There are some much bigger motors! Ask the Level-3 rocketry folks!
Anyway a cluster of medium sized motors could be fired individually as
required to raise altitude. I would think that SRB's would be more
reliable and safer than hypergolic used on previous Oscars. There would
of course be a lot of heat in the rocket casings that would need to be
dissipated.
