WAPT, 5/8/7

Republican Sens. Thad Cochran and Trent Lott are announcing NASA’s plans to build a new rocket engine test stand on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Cochran and Lott said the announcement represents an estimated $175 million investment at Stennis to support the Constellation Project, the agency’s plan to send missions back to the moon and eventually to Mars.
