WITH NASA NO LONGER LAUNCHING SPACE SHUTTLES AND ITS SECRETS OPEN TO CHINESE SPIES BY ITS LIBERAL RUN MANAGEMENT IT SEEMS–THE MILITARY DOES IT ALONE WITH THE AIRFORCE X-37B

The United States Air Force's X-37B space plane will launch on its fourth mystery mission next month.

The unmanned X-37B space plane, which looks like a miniature version of NASA's now-retired space shuttle orbiter, is scheduled to blast off atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Florida's Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on May 20.

"We are excited about our fourth X-37B mission," Randy Walden, director of the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office, said in a statement. "With the demonstrated success of the first three missions, we’re able to shift our focus from initial checkouts of the vehicle to testing of experimental payloads."
