NASA's shuttle-era engines have one last job

"If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. That’s the mentality at NASA, 
which is test-firing the RS-25 rocket engines that will serve as 
the main engines for the Space Launch System. (Video via NASA)

These are the same engines that powered the Space Shuttles — 
literally. The design has proved so reliable NASA has been 
refurbishing and reusing the same rockets for 34 years. Of the 
16 RS-25s standing by for SLS duty, 14 of them have already been 
to space. (Video via NASA)"
