...Rolls-Royce diesel engine, nearly the size of a Smart car, sits on a support stand. Probably built about 15 years ago to power a British military fighting vehicle, it has run out of life. Within two days, it will be completely dismantled by a two-person crew, and each piece - every bolt, nut, spring and valve - will be vetted to see which ones are salvageable. Most will pass the test: 95% will be cleaned or otherwise refurbished. Then, with a handful of new parts added to the mix, the engine will be reassembled. After it's passed strict tests...

The new ship will putt-putt into interplanetary space under the power--if that's even the word--of an engine that accelerates by barely 15 m.p.h. (24 km/h) per day, or zero...

Republicans relentlessly charged Democrats with waging a war on faith (or Christmas or the Bible). And the party built an extensive infrastructure to reach and mobilize religious voters, a strategy that reached its zenith...
