They've even used all of these parts, the solid rocket booster, almost all of them came from the space shuttle. in fact, two parts down here actually flew on my dad's space shuttle flight back in the early 1980s. i mean, that's how old these parts are. with that said, a lot of them are also battle tested. these rs-25 engines have been, you know, tested time and time again on this space shuttle. the engines down here that are on the artemis rocket behind me have flown a combined more than 20 shuttle missions. so there is something to be said for hardware that has actually proven that it can pro...
