I wonder why they don't mention where those "historic" engines will end up...
Not very far away this time unless something fails horribly.

Actually, there was one time where the engine "went places" during a test firingNot very far away this time unless something fails horribly.
The aft end of the shuttle ET got worse burning due to plume re-circulation from the SSMEs and the SRBs and it handled it with no issues.Yeah that's better full duration test, they will get "real" data from it. Now I was a bit concerned by that fire at the bottom of the rocket, but fire insulation did its job and that fire would have had no air to burn in space or even high atmosphere.
