Huh @NASA? "first deep space #RS25 flight engine" ? It will be dropped in the Atlantic Ocean. Hardly "deep space". https://t.co/7iO98aoprP

Keith's note: These RS-25 engines will end up on the bottom of the Atlantic ocean. They will not go into "deep space" - or anywhere in space. At least Shuttle missions took them for a ride into low Earth orbit. Deep space? No. Deep Atlantic? Yes. More goofy exaggerated NASA hype on the #JourneyToMars
