The drone ... talks to me. It tell me to do things ... bad things.
"Jump the fence" it tells me.
"The atmosphere is collapsing" it tells me.
"Tell the president" it says.

It’s a great re-usable orbital testing platform.

What is the Pentagons secret space drone doing? Obviously it's droning secret space.
Pay attention, man.

Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if the 2-year “mission” was just a case of “we locked the keys inside (lost the encryption key/had an onboard computer failure/etc), so now we can’t bring it down”?

Ask the Russians or Chinese.

They sent the encryption key to the IRS in an email and ... well ...

” the X-37B is being used to carry secret satellites and classified sensors into space a little-known role once played by NASAs new retired space shuttle....”
There ya go. That’s about it. A cheap means to test things without humans involved.

What good is having a reusable space plane if you just launch it and leave it in orbit? Rather than having three launches it should have had a dozen. The military needs to focus on quick replacement of GPS, communication and recon satellites in event of a major war. I expect the Chinese and Russians will use anti-satellite capability to knock out our satellites and we risk a revolution and end of American democracy if the DirectTV satellites are taken out during football season.

I read the article. They dont have a clue.Yet every couple of years, someone writes a long article about how we don't know what it is doing.

In my non technical opinion, I say it’s broken and the Air Force can’t bring it back down for reuse. Two years is a long time for a re usable space craft to float up in space.

A. I’m bringing home a baby bumble bee. Won’t my mama be so proud of me?

It’s watching the White House fence for jumpers while the Secret Service is on break.

In my own opinion... It’s a long duration test bed. I can imagine new materials being tested out in a very hostile environment.
On the other hand one of my nutty co-workers says it’s a remote controlled bio-lab for super-dangerous organisms.
