Blackstar


According to Aviation Week and Space Technology, the U.S. is shelving an extremely classified spaceplane, sometimes code-named "Blackstar". There have been rumors about this for years, but AWST is now going public with all that it knows and/or suspects. Read the details here.

Really, read it. Then I'll comment.

Commentary: Budget, my ass. The reasons to build this vehicle are just as real and significant now as they were twenty years ago. If this is being cancelled, what do they have to replace it?
