X-37s.

And I see there have already been accusations of spying. Duh?

The SR-71 was accused of spying all the time too. It can fly over radar.

You're going to get really mad now. It's in Montana in 2044. Toledo is dead center in 2099. So plan for your floating head in a jar to be transported up here and we can watch it then.

Also, just saw the show. 10/10. Would recommend. It's actually pretty fucking amazing.

Voyager 1 is phoning home again.

15 BILLION miles away and it hasn't gone anywhere in the grand scheme of things. Amazing.

Maybe Moonfall was onto something.

If you didn't see the movie...well, you're lucky.

Former NASA engineer says they have a "New Force" drive.

This would be a new technology to beat Earth's gravity and not use traditional means.
