Boeing 787 maiden flight

I was just reading about the new Boeing 787 when I came across this paragraph:

"The plane is the first of six 787s Boeing will use in the nine-month flight-test program that will subject the planes to conditions well beyond those found in normal airline service, including temperature extremes, flying on one engine and slamming on the brakes at takeoff speed."

Okay, I don't want to be the pilot for those tests, lol.
