Casino67 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 FoxNews.com:Whatever happened to the X-37B?An unmanned vehicle with unknown intent, the X-37B has been orbiting the Earth for 173 days since its launch on April 22. Since its launch, the spaceship has captured the imagination of skywatchers, military experts and conspiracy theorists worldwide.It has the payload of a medium-sized truck, so maybe its purpose is to ferry spy satellites into orbit. It can return to Earth after a single orbit, so perhaps it can pick said satellites up again after they've done their work and before they've been spotted by the enemy. Some say it may signal the start of the weaponization of space.Whatever it is, it's an impressive piece of technology that at the very least has unparalleled capacity to generate headlines.Now, for the second time since it launched, it's disappeared and the race is on once again to a) find it, then offer a plausible theory about what it's up to this time.

Valin Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Now, for the second time since it launched, it's disappeared and the race is on once again to a) find it, then offer a plausible theory about what it's up to this time. I know, but If I say anything THEY will get me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErnstBlofeld Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 There are two places where the X-37 would land. Edwards AFB or Vandenberg AFB.It will not land in Cape Canaveral in Florida.There were reports that the landing strip in Vandenberg was being re-built. I have not heard anything from these places.Then again, its designed to land at any runway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
