After poking around a bit I see this one is supposed to fly at around Mach 8, which is mighty impressive. I'm hoping they'll try again with the HTV-2, which is expected to fly at around Mach 20. Far better. If that can work then, Good bye bunker.

The Germans had a lot of fantastical "Buck Rogers" kind of projects. Most of them went nowhere, or ended in failure. Hitler surely had a complex, because the Germans went over the top in just about anything they planned. I mean, who else builds 300 mm cannons, 200 ton tanks with 128mm main guns, and cruisers with battleship guns?
I wonder if anybody else other then you or I even know what Paperclip is. Being both a Space and History nut, I loved my chance out in White Sands to get to see many of those old launch sites. Every time I had to drive from one site to another, I took a different route so I could see as much as possible.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. - John Stuart Mill
I guess Germans have tiny dicks. Plus, with the materials of the era, I doubt the Silbervogel would have done anything but get ripped apart from the immense pressures of stratospheric flight at Mach 2 speeds.
I'm sure there are others, but not many. Kinda torn on how to feel about, but it happened, so **** it. WSMR was a pretty amazing place. Every day after COB, I'd go for a hike in the desert. It's really beautiful, but unfortunately, there isn't much else to do there. Before I left, the Post CSM pretty much made it clear that all the money for cool new things was to go straight into a new gym that nobody asked for. ****in Army.I wonder if anybody else other then you or I even know what Paperclip is.

I love the NSA. It's like having a secret fan-base you will never see, but they're there, watching everything you write and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing that I may be some person's only form of unconstitutional entertainment one night.
