This is good news, especially after the Falcon-1 failure yesterday.

OK, OK.

A couple questions.

1. The paragraph after the excerpted bit indicates that Scaled Composites did a drop test (from what altitude ?) - I'm guessing like the 747 “drop tests” used to test the shuttle's glide performance. True?

2. If this is the X-37B, what happened to the X-37A? Successful? Crashed? Never built/flown?

3. Why does the photo of Boeing’s X-40 used for X-37B? Boeing can't type the Wright numbers on their planes any more? 8<)
