Nice to know it isn’t just Buran you look down on :)


At any rate—let me throw this into the mix.


They were very careful to show only a bit of the payload bay—but the aft section is what interests me.


Falcon Heavy gave this bird quite the thump…it may have a bit more hypergolics—but there may be another another way to give X-37 a bit more agility.


Byeman is right about wings not being of much use at its altitude.


What if it has a big tether?


Spin down for an orbital change—THEN use wings.


Not even a thruster puff visible. Just hang out…gradually feed out some line—then turn loose.


Falcon upper stage the counterweight…maybe like the one that broke up over Poland? It might be interesting to backtrack that.
