Speaking of the X-37B The last time an X-37 flew it was up there orbiting for over a year and few even knew it was up there. The first mission ready vehicle that first orbited for over 7 months is supposed to launch again tomorrow afternoon aboard at Atlas 5 but weather is not looking good here. Been delayed since Oct.:( We can only imagine what its "Classified" Payload is.
I was amazed reading the book on the Lockheed Skunkworks to discover that the Stealth Fighter first flew when I was in High School but wasn't really revealed until the first Gulf War in 1991. Likely because it was "outdated" LOL. 12 years of near secrecy.
