first up, the x-37b has landed after it's first mission. it's mission, secret. looking like a cross between a predator drone and the space shuttle, this orbital vehicle has a secret mission to do...secrety stuff... first pics here:

it seems the discovery has stage fright. it's mission has been delayed again, this time until no earlier than february 3rd... sigh. i hate to see the shuttle program end but to go out like this just blows... nasa is trying to determine the cause of cracking in the large exterior fuel tank and see if it is a threat to happen again.
