I Dare You To Read This Article

Holy Cow, this is story almost put me to sleep. It seems interesting enough, something about a new rocket engine. But upon careful inspection you realize the author's true intent is to lull you into some sort of "Sleeping Beauty" state of consciousness.
At least that's what it seemed like to me. Here's the story lead and the first graph:

An engine developed to demonstrate advanced rocket technologies for future launch vehicles was successfully ignited April 28 at 9:10 p.m. CDT during its test firing at NASA's Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Miss.
The initial tests on the engine, known as the Integrated Powerhead Demonstrator (IPD), were conducted at the Stennis Center's E-1 test stand.


It just gets more convoluted and boring from there; something about doubling the "capability of state-of-the-art cryogenic booster engines" without further explanation and how it will eventually benefit one of the "cornerstones of the Vision for Space Exploration, without telling us how. I'm sure something really significant AND cool happened, but I'm not sure what it is. There's a nice picture though. The story and the picture are here.
