Now where is “Col. Steve Austin” (Six Million Dollar Man - before inflation)...?

And shouldn’t a “dream chaser” be more round, and have feathers?

For whatever it’s worth, there were NASA/Northrop engineers for thr M2-F3, which were tied to the 1950’s development of the U.S. Space Shuttle we would eventually fly in April 1981.

Are those cockpit windows so the robot pilots can see where they are going? Here's the top-secret robotic copilot "Otto" before he was made happy...
