"First Landing Photos: Secret X-37B Robot Space Plane Lands in Calif."

With a headline like that, how secret can it really be?
Air Force officials hailed the unmanned X-37B space plane's successful landing, though its mission remains shrouded in secrecy because of its classified nature. But Vandenberg's 30th Space Wing did not shy from snapping photos of the X-37B vehicle, known as the Orbital Test Vehicle 1.

The pictures are nice, though.





Secrets, secrets, secrets ---- hidden in the open. It does make you think, doesn't it?

I saw a bumper sticker on the back of an antique Chevy Suburban today:

FIRST SPACE SHUTTLE: 1975
THIS SUBURBAN: 1977
SO WHAT ARE YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT?
