Oops. Spilled the beans a bit huh?
That was funny... changing Dark Star to Black Star...
Nice one And you said this thread was BS... but now you want to play too...
We have another endurance vehicle
called Dark Star, which performs a
similar mission but has enhanced survivability.
The Dark Star has had its
first flight. It experienced a control
problem resulting in a crash on its second
flight. We have recently reviewed
the redesign to deal with the problems
experienced, and Dark Star also is on
track to begin flying again this fall.
For example, the ability to
fly 3,000 miles, loiter at the target for
24 hours or more, and then return to base.

Loiter for 24 hours... pretty cool huh?
"....armed with a microwave weapon..."
Need a bean scoop?

April 2003
Lockheed submitted an unsolicited proposal for development
of Dark Star, which became known as “Tier III-”, a stealthy UAV for the penetrating reconnaissance role, but with the same $10 million cost objective.
The Tier III- Dark Star was canceled due to flight test failures and budget
S-9 overruns.
...AND 4 DARK STARS ARE TO BE SHIPPED TO THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS:
DODAAC: W51VRX
CENTRAL RECEIVING POINT (CRP), BLDG 330
ATTN: [redacted]
FORT CARSON, CO 80913
4 EA $13,474.000,00 TOTAL $53,896,000.00
The Department of Defense unveiled the low-observable Tier III Minus
unmanned aerial vehicle known as Dark Star in a ceremony held at Lockheed’s Skunk Works in Palmdale, Calif.
All that data is going into a huge super computer.
If you wanted to create an AI... you would need to input everything, including grandma's recipe for chicken soup. Our brains work as they do because our minds can conceive quantum mechanics yet five minutes later think about making dinner or taking out the trash.
For an AI to be useful and successful it would need tons of seemingly irrelevant data to give it a 'rounded' education
Food for thought...

Well its unclassified now... though it still takes some work to get the goods.
I am not going to add the links as they will set of bells in the thread but here is where to find the data for anyone 'ambitious'

Now go have a few more beers and lets chat
What's really cool is that this one, like the Pegasus, leads back to Palmdale as well

No wonder there are so many UFO reports from that area

Oh wait.. you said shuttle replacement... that would be the Black Horse....
Have a thread on that... those babies were to carry laser turrets
I kept that thread low key because its harder to track down
The Black Russians and the Black Horses

But then Pegasus was born here in a thread called
The Winged Horses and the Space Ships

I'm sure there is more then one program with the same/similar name but I'm specifically referring to a USAF program called Dark Star which is the operational program name for a small fleet of space shuttle like vehicles which the USAF has operated since the mid 90's.

Ummm I know that, you know that and there is a thread on that here..
Facebook a CIA Front?

But the Lemmings who are worried don't know that..
Because they don't read more that the first post
So is a mobile IP address traceable? I know when we had the DoD 'visitor' he just powered up his lap top and found 4 of my neighbors that had no password on their wireless routers.

I wonder though how medical benefits and retirement pay work for non existent spooks
