Secretive X-37B space plane ready for subsequent flight.

An Atlas V rocket carrying the unmanned craft, which appears like a miniature space taxi, has gotten clearance to get a planned liftoff tomorrow only after 10 a. m. PT from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in California.

If the previous two trips into space usually are any indication, don't expect the X-37B into the future home anytime soon -- or to the U. S. Air Force to state much about what the vessel is as much as. Is it spying? May it eventually carry tools? Is there extra cash lying around in the Pentagon for joy flights? Maybe it's a mental operations ploy to wreck havoc on government types in Beijing or even Tehran or Pyongyang! The speculation has risen to satisfy the near silence.

Usually the one detail of any substance the Air Force and X-37B creator Boeing have shared is the previous X-37B trips into space made and on and with. The first, which broken in December 2010, survived 224 days, and the second, which ended last August, endured for 469 days to weeks, or a year and four months.
