This is hardly the future of space travel, it's a reworked shuttle that was itself designed in the 60's
I reckon they have stuff that moves much faster than a shuttle & doesn't need 26 tons of gunpowder to get off the ground

Good find. Also some new stuff here. www.nytimes.com...


Brian Weedon, a former Air Force officer now with the Secure World Foundation, a private group based in Superior, Colo., said the duration of the X-37B’s initial flight would probably depend on “how well it performs in orbit.” The Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office leads the X-37B program for what it calls the “development and fielding of select Defense Department combat support and weapons systems.” Mr. Payton, a former astronaut and senior NASA official, has acknowledged that the spacecraft is ultimately meant to give the United States new advantages on terrestrial battlefields, but denies that it represents any kind of space weaponization.
