Looks like a Shuttle SRB (solid rocket booster engine). Think of a giant Estes model rocket engine. Once it lights, you cannot stop it until it's done burning.

I think they test those out in the hills near Pasadena, JPL property.

Doesnt matter, when you have humans strapped to that thing it has too work right the first time. It costs each of us less than a penny

Actually astronauts are cheaper:spit:

But true

If that was a Shuttle SRB, that's the critter that failed and blew up the Columbia. It's made in segments that are stacked on top of each other, and it blew through the seal between segments.

Maybe it costs more than a penny? IDK Not more than a dime though:rofl: Reminds me of the dollar I had earlier tonight...Nevermind:spit:

No, it didnt. The SRB that failed blew the Challenger up in 1986. Columbia died on reentry due to a hole in the wing.

ON EDIT: Didnt see Vrabels reply til after I posted.
