“The X-37B executed a series of first-of-kind maneuvers, called aerobraking”

I remember when Frances Gary Powers was shot down over the USSR. In the press it was said the US had such sophisticated cameras on aircraft that we could take a photo from space of a person reading a newspaper on the ground and tell what that newspaper said.

Pretty awesome. I think we’re going to find out a few things over the next four years.
