From The Clarion-Ledger quote: Stennis completes 1,000th test of shuttle engineThe A-1 test stand at Stennis Space Center in Hancock County supported its 1,000th test of a shuttle main engine Thursday.
And from NPR's "All Things Considered" quote: Space Shuttle Tests: Whole Lotta Quaking When space shuttle rocket engines are tested a mile from listener Stephan Howden's office in Mississippi, strangers think it's an earthquake. Howden says it's like a train going nearby. We hear that sound, and then Robert Siegel talks to NASA Deputy Director David Throckmorton about why NASA tests its rockets so often.
