    NASA & US military working on ???

    http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/w ... ttr=797093

    Well, some things to think about...

    "Somewhere above earth is America’s latest spaceship, a 30ft craft so classified that the Pentagon will not divulge its mission nor how much it cost to build.

    The mysterious X37B, launched successfully by the US Air Force from Cape Canaveral on Thursday, using an Atlas V rocket, looks like a mini-Space Shuttle — but its mission is top secret."

    and then..

    "With all the focus on the launch of the secret X37B, another space launch by a Minotaur IV rocket from Vandenberg Air Force base in California received less attention.

    It was carrying the prototype of a new weapon that can hit any target around the world in less than an hour.

    The Prompt Global Strike is designed as the conventional weapon of the future. It could hit Osama bin Laden’s cave, an Iranian nuclear site or a North Korean missile with a huge conventional warhead."

    Oddly, overshadowed first by the Obama White House's comments on the Asteroid (deflecting?) NASA Agenda, and then finally everything overshadowed by "Hubble's Birthday".

    So what's going on? Capturing the high ground for WWIII? Is Niribu more than a hoax? Both? Neither?

    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.

    It's an Air Force program, so NASA's fleet isn't involved.
