DARPA Looking into Hypersonic Bombers

Posted by michael on Tuesday July 1, 2003 @07:51AM from the department-of-offense dept.

while(true) writes "As reported previously here on Slashdot, hypersonic jets from NASA has recently been in the news. Now DARPA is showing interest in the military applications and is to host a conference on hypersonic unmanned bombers. These bombers could be based in the US and yet strike from space at any place in the world within 2 hours. BBC has a report about these air/spacecraft that could be operational by 2025."

I'm sure Bin Laden, Hussein, etc are stockpiling Depends so they can wet themselves in fear in 20 years when this comes after them.
