The X-37B is a military vessel, and the US already has a civilian space-exploration agency in NASA, suggesting that the payload is indeed of a military nature.

It is absolutely abhorrent to see that the nation-states of planet Sol III are resuming the misguided attempts to take their petty intra-planetary conflicts into space. I feel like in one of those Star Trek episodes where one alien group is trying to get a leg up on the other by petitioning the Federation ship in orbit to help them against their quite-similar enemies.




resuming? Has humanity stopped since 1957?
