An X-37B robotic space plane sits on the Vandenberg Air Force base runway during post-landing operations on Dec. 3, 2010. Personnel in self-contained protective atmospheric suits conduct initial checks on the robot space vehicle after its landing.


Video:US Air Force's Mysterious X-37B Space Plane
A tiny robotic space shuttle the reusable X-37B looks like NASA's now-retired space shuttle, only much smaller. The robotic space plane is 29 feet (8.8 meters) long by 9.5 feet (2.9 m) tall with a wingspan of nearly 15 feet (4.6 m). Its payload bay is the size of a pickup truck bed. (The space shuttle's payload bay, by comparison, could fit two entire X-37Bs inside.)

That nobody knows a damm about what the thing is or does will only serve to be a good thing in regards to our enemies.

Why don’t they cancel this thing and keep the A10 or develop the next A10?

not really knowing what it could do until it was tested — which is what they are doing now,

Either that, or it's space junk.
