"F**k, this is absolutely the most expensive gadget in history."

John looked at the "good news" just submitted by NACA and kept grumbling to Sullivan beside him.

It had been a month since the A105 nuclear engine was transported to Boeing's Seattle Factory, and finally, there was good news.

After the relentless efforts of a team of more than 200 people, the A105 engine had successfully been combined with the refurbished space shuttle.

Just three hours ago, the nuclear engine had powered the space shuttle uninterrupted for the first time, with expectations to complete all necessary adjustments and safety tests by April, and to execute a manned launch mission between May and June.

It's worth mentioning the installation process of the A105 engine, which had to be fully tested at the test site before being transported to the factory for final assembly, and once it began running, it wouldn't stop burning until the projected 10-year scrap deadline.
