The Chinese military is apparently using an abandoned NASA design to develop a 6,000-mph hypersonic nuclear missile engine.
A prototype of the engine has been built and tested using a "radical" American design first proposed over 20 years ago as the country competes to outperform the West in a contemporary arms race, according to a report .
The design was presented by Ming Han Tang, a Chinese American and former chief engineer of NASA's hypersonic program.
Tang's Two-Stage Vehicle X-plane is driven by two different engines and can travel faster than five times the speed of sound.
It was initially set to be tested in the early 2000s by the United States, but the program was cut after it was deemed "too costly."
The Chinese military reportedly views money as "no object" and partnered with Tan Huijun, a professor at the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, to build a prototype using Tang's blueprints.
"Understanding its work mechanism can provide important guidance to hypersonic plane and engine development," Tan said.
News of the development comes after China recently launched two missiles into space.

Wow, another example of Chinese R&D...Ripoff and Duplicate.
Or, if the Clinton’s, Soetero, Biden’s are in charge, it’s....Give them the research so they can make it themselves.
Pre affirmative action NASA made stuff that actually worked.
Perhaps they can explain how China got these “blueprints”
Way to go FBI COUNTERINTELLIGENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is your mission area and jurisdiction. This is what suck looks like.
Every Chinese national working in U.S. tech or attending grad school should be considered a potential spy.
Math is racist, so can’t use that
20 years ago was the beginning of the George W Bush administration which lasted 8 years or the same amount of time the US went from its first manned space flight to landing on the moon in the 1960’s. Apparently the Bush admin was unable to develop and deploy the hypersonic technology in 8 years.
FBI....
Agent: I was offered salary and perks to keep America’s secrets. I was offered much more to betray the country and let the Chinese Communists have them to use against us. You figure out which one I liked better.
Hey, I gotta get back to targeting Trump supporters.
Bill Clinton gave China all of our engineering and computers in exchange for money to finance his second election......
Over half of my nieces classes at Harvey Mudd were oriental
Most went on to work at Raytheon
Defense contractors
NASA was well on the way to being toast by the 1970s:

“Every Chinese national working in U.S. tech or attending grad school should be considered a potential spy.”
Especially the ones working at defense contractors.
A lot of that cash coming through the Clinton White House kitchen went under the bed with the FBI files
Cost of making hardware is not the issue so much as the cost of the US defense acquisition system bureaucracy. It’s why SPACEX is eating United Launch’s breakfast lunch and dinner. It’s why the Chinese are eating our lunch. They are paying for test hardware. We are supporting a swamp that can build nothing and test nothing and to nothing except shuffle power point slides.
Feh! In other words they are decades behind us.
He was too busy squandering our patrimony and our stratgic hegemony in the middle east desert.
“BFF, XI”....(SAID THEN VP BIDEN, as long as the checks to the Biden family clear)
