Posted by michael on from the fireball dept.

starannihilator writes "Wired News is reporting that NASA is planning on using its new SCRAMJET to break the aircraft speed record (on Earth, anyway) at Mach 10 (7,000 mph or 10-times the speed of sound). Using the hypersonic X-43A, NASA hopes to break the record on Monday, November 15th."

    Man, I coulda sworn I just read about this not too long ago. I wonder if anything has changed since then.

    Ahhh, this time it was posted by Michael, not Commander Taco! Cool! I like the Michael stories better.

    The previous story was about NASA's scramjet, while this one is about Wired's story about it.

    Totally different, see?
