Michael Dino got in touch to tell me about his gallery of space shuttle main engine photos at Dino’s Gallery (You’ll need to login to Photobucket to view the gallery). Apparently, the Shuttle’s solid rocket boosters (SRBs) burn two million pounds of fuel in about 2 minutes, which is about as long as it takes to heat your food in a microwave oven…think about how many pizzas that much fuel could defrost (in an instant)!
