Military space plane lands after secret mission

An unpiloted military space plane, launched by an Atlas 5 rocket in May 2015, glided to an unannounced landing on the long shuttle runway at the Kennedy Space Center on Sunday, closing out a 718-day mission. It was the first Florida landing of a returning spacecraft since Atlantis flew home in the program's final mission in 2011.
Sonic booms rumbled across central Florida around 8 a.m. and a few minutes later, the Air Force tweeted that the Boeing-built X-37B space plane -- a compact, delta-wing craft equipped with a payload bay, a solar power boom and a sophisticated computer control systems -- had returned from orbit and landed safely.

It was the fourth clandestine flight of the X-37B, the longest in the program and the first to end in Florida, where Boeing has taken over two former shuttle processing hangars that have been modified to handle the secret spycraft. The first three missions ended with landings at Vandenberg Air Force Base northwest of Los Angeles.
So, what are you thinking? Crossbow? I say Crossbow.

Oh, and then there's this:

The original idea for a small unmanned orbiter was developed by NASA and built by Boeing's Phantom Works division. But the program was turned over to the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, in 2004.

You talking about the jet that was taken out of service years ago? I think you can do more shite from space than you can do from high altitude.
SR-71 looks cooler, though. I'll give you that.

Neil Bush oversaw the demolition crews that wired the building. The CIA flew remote control drones into the towers. The passengers and crew were liquidated at a remote, rural FEMA camp. What else you want to know? I'm here to teach.

I wonder why they need to wear these suits to even get close to this thing after it has returned?

They were probably concerned for their safety being near a spacecraft that just spent the last 700+ days spraying chemtrails.
