Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

One of the big DARPA guys (I don't recall his rank/position, but I know he's top-tier) spoke to us this morning about the launch as well as some of the other goodies coming down the pipe... There's some cool stuff coming!

I've had a long, painful day at work. By all means, no teasing...do tell!

Probably less than 13,000MPH at the altitude it was flying at.  Still impressive.

Why yes it can go farther, faster and carry a bigger payload.  In other news apples and oranges aren't the same thing.

(Image removed from quote.)

did you just make that? And no there's no airframe, just technology we're experimenting with. The sixth gen search is no secret, i just honestly don't know how much of what was discussed should be repeated. We didn't get anything too juicy, don't worry lol.

Lol I was just messing with you.  I made that picture yes but the meme is called "Tech School Airman".  This is the original one.
