Amateurs Spy On US Spy Plane

Posted by timothy on from the doesn't-actually-exist dept.

arshadk writes with this excerpt from Wired's Danger Room: "The X-37B has generated intense interest, long before it ever left the ground. Boeing originally developed the 29-foot unmanned craft — a kind of miniature Space Shuttle — for NASA. Then, the military took over in 2004, and the space plane went black. Its payloads were classified, its missions hush-hush. ... You can even see the space plane for yourself: The X-37B is traveling in a slightly elliptical orbit more than 200 miles up, swooping from 43 degrees north latitude to 43 degrees south."

    Ew. If there's one thing that strikes me as even more ridiculous than the imperial system, it's this "milliard" bullshit.
