Two-Stage-to-Orbit Spaceplane Program Shelved

MadMorf writes "According to this article in Aviation Week, for nearly twenty years the USAF and "a team of aerospace contractors" has designed, built and tested a two-stage-to-orbit spaceplane, which could be used for "reconnaissance, satellite-insertion and, possibly, weapons delivery". Now this highly classified project may have been shelved for budgetary reasons."

So what you're saying is that Area 51 exists just to draw attention away from Area 52? We'll just have to check there instead, once we've found it.
Or perhaps that's what they want us to think, so continue to do all reseach at Area 51; where better to hide than in plane sight, right?

The premise that not taking joy in mass murder makes you a caricature is questionable. I don't think so. You needn't kowtow to the brownshirts just because the voices of the genocidal class are strident and loud.
