We were talking about CSXT's 100 km attempt, so I indeed assumed lower
acceleration for a longer burn time. Ignoring that pesky atmosphere
for a moment, a 15 second burn requires 10.04 g, 30 seconds 5.29 g,
and 60 seconds 2.94 g. Pretty significant difference.
But I still don't see why that matters. OTOH, I see Dave W posted a
long reply, so I'll go read it.
