NASA JPL tests future lunar craft with shake-up

The same historic facilities that some 50 years ago prepared NASA's twin Voyager probes for their ongoing interstellar odyssey are helping to ready a towering commercial spacecraft for a journey to the moon. Launches involve brutal shaking and astonishingly loud noises, and testing in these facilities mimics those conditions to help ensure mission hardware can survive the ordeal.
