And now we have more weapons of auto destruction, man how can one in and overseas non NATO country see us less than War Mongers. Power Projection like this would be concern for any Nation we have problems with.

And the little I know about these DARPA programs is they take time in many cases and cost plenty. Yet this is already in flight.

And at the site there are many links with in the news so check the site out if this interests you.

Hah, you beat me to this story, mlurp! I clicked on this section to post it here and I saw your thread.

2,300 miles in under thirty minutes? That is pretty fast.

Like the one I am spreading about you now to everyone through PMs about you and that one-eyed midget prostitute with a limp named Biscuit when you were in Taiwan last year?

Man the Dark Side has you in it's grip.

Your remarks on Iran, when about every gulf nation is behind Israel (in the quiet)

Your position in the Wall St. thingy.

Just what is it you do here?

I would love that these weapons were never needed.. But the MIC has to have it's way above all else.

And Si Fi takes time to become reality or are you still stuck with Stars Wars and your Si Fi?

so are you really trying to tell me that this is the first time the military has tested hypersonic space planes?

From the very first sentence of the article...

First, it's a weapon and not a plane...

Second, the SPEED is what makes it a "first"...Irrelevant of how many hypersonic tests there have been in the last 20 years, it's still a first...
