1. transport supplies and contractors to secret colonies

2. deliver nuclear payloads anywhere in the world without detection

3. service secret military satellites.

It's our space drone. I mean why wait for a naval battle group to get there in 24hrs when you can precision nuke them from space in 3 mins.

It's a space drone used to blow up asteroids so Bruce Willis doesn't have to die at the end of Armageddon.

The Boeing X-37, also known as the Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV), is a reusable uncrewed spacecraft. It is boosted into space by a launch vehicle, then re-enters Earth's atmosphere and lands as a spaceplane. The X-37 is operated by the United States Air Force for orbital spaceflight missions intended to demonstrate reusable space technologies.[4] It is a 120%-scaled derivative of the earlier Boeing X-40.

One of the last ones that went up had a robotic arm. Use your imagination for that one.

It's only purpose is to allow NASA and the USAF to rape the taxpayer.

Theory no, question yes (from ars-technica )



Why are these guys suited up like this for it's return?

I mean that's one hell of a backpack there to mod into a suit and much more than a small air tank.
