More like real life caught up. She had a wedding to plan among other things IIRC.

Boooo! Surely the honeymoon has to be over by now! :-)

Is this the SR-72? Something seen from the ISS (see link below with video).

What exactly can the SR72 do that a rocket cannot, and faster and cheaper?

a reply to: darkstar57

If it's a launch platform it can takeoff and land without requiring specialized facilties, land and be ready to launch again in a few days, and do everything a rocket can cheaper and faster.

And... if I might add to what Z said, undetected. Rocket launches are tracked easily by other nations - near orbit aircraft on the otherhand have a stealth advantage.

You know the funny thing bout all this is the second picture from your op the model is almost identical to the Roswell craft...

For real...

Is the SR-72 design that Lockheed went public with last year the same program you originally posted about in 2007?

Is this bird flying already? Or in 7 years has it gone from a miniature model of "Blackswift" to a computer model?

I believe they are one in the same.

Something is... (in my uninformed opinion)

This is very telling. Confirms what I saw.

Cant say what it will have. BUT it needs to be more than ONE Paveway. That capability is already out there - and I know - so an SR72 payload needs to deliver on a significant ROI! It's all about the Bucks, folks! a reply to: northwolf

Ironic that this post is on the 51st Anniversary of the 1st official flight of the SR-71?

On December 22nd, 1964, the SR-71 Blackbird took to the air for the very first time, rising above Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale with F-104 chase planes in pursuit. The occasion would mark the birth of one of the most amazing and renowned aircraft of all time.
