The X-37B is designed to be a reusable space-craft. The tiles used for re-entry are similar to the ones that had been used on the "Space Shuttle" -- a name that perhaps needs to be revamped -- and there are reasonable concerns if there will be any problems on re-entry. |

| Doesn't matter User ID: 29707623 12/12/2012 09:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ed Dames and his remote viewing crew gave two markers that would happen just before the Killshot. The first was the launch of a North Korean missile, which happened yesterday. The second was a space shuttle being forced to land due to a meteor shower. The X-37B was launched today (looks very similar to a shuttle, only smaller). If this thing is forced down by a meteor shower (and one is predicted for Dec 13-14) then the Killshot is imminent! December 21 anyone? |

That's really interesting. Thanks, Astro! Any idea why the military is interested in this? The only things I can think of are being able to keep automated drones in orbit at any given time to shoot down long range missles or deliver payloads in the field.

Can anyone confirm that this site/tracking here is "REAL" and updated: [link to www.n2yo.com] Apparently, from what I could find, the mission details continue to remain secret with no details currently being disclosed or made public, right? |

Quoting: 300 30030895 It ain't rocket science. Do you happen to know what the mission is? The experiments being conducted on board? No? Why is that? Oh yeah. It's a fucking secret! You're right. Not rocket science. Being a dick about it doesn't make you seem smarter, it just proves ignorance, by the way. "There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls." ~ George Carlin |

If it WERE top-secret, you wouldn't even know about the program in the first place. Quoting: 300 30030895 It's not really possible to hide things in orbit. Even the stealthy satellites are often spotted, and there orbital parameters published by amateurs. [link to citizenscientistsleague.com] Hatred is a cancer upon the world.
