What is its real purpose ?

OK.. Let's have some light hearted feedback..

The X-37B is set to return to Earth after more than a year in space ... but its mission remains shrouded in secrecy.

The US Air Force unmanned experimental craft blasted off last March. But it is not known what its purpose is, and what it was carrying..

So, my question is : What do YOU think its purpose was and what was it carrying ?

Let's not get political. No spying, weapons stories.

I think it was using special equipment including high definition heat sensors to locate the whereabouts of Amelia Earherdt whilst testing new coffee combinations at zero gravity ...

That's either the filthest, most suggestive and knowing comment......or......the most naive and innocent comment!

And much funnier if the latter!

Is that TRUE what Jim Mc says?

Anyways, we had good time brain storming to search for the purpose of spy craft.

There was no X-37B sent into space at all, it's all a hoax set up by britexpat to start a meaningless thread on here

it takes time to craft in real life the imagination of Battle Los Angeles... i cant be further light hearted :P

but like Ronald Reagan suggests in the despised New World Conference... of an outside/alien power attempts to invade planet earth and how it would unite humanity or in other words accept New World sovereignty.

duh! i need worry more of my laundry

Radius the biblical prophecy is similar in Quran regarding Gog-Magog alliance will be destroyed.

Welcome Painther, i am sure you dont work for Lungi Times ;D

If what you're saying is true and I do believe you, then this could spell catastrophe..

Imagine if they could knock out the the TV sattelites then we would lose Star TV, ESPN and Movie Channels.. What would we do with our time ? :O(

Seriously, The X-37B (OTV) program was built on earlier industry and government efforts by DARPA, NASA and the Air Force, and was led by the U.S. Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office, in partnership with NASA and the Air Force Research Laboratory.

The X-37 is a reusable robotic spaceplane. It carries Optimus Prime as the OTV stand for -- Orbital TRANSFORMER Vehicle. Something wrong with Wikipedia maybe?

By RADIUS• 6 Jun 2012 12:53

China can already shoot down satellites (and Russia likely can do so as well), the X-37B has to have state-of-the-art defensive weaponry to shoot down any missile or kinetic interceptor sent to hit it. Given that the USA has been developing laser/plasma-ray technology for decades, I’d be surprised if the X-37B does not have such a defensive (and offensive) capability.

I am agog! Can this be true ?

By RADIUS• 6 Jun 2012 12:47
RADIUS

One biblical prophecy could possibly be fulfilled by the X-37B in the future. Ezekiel 38-39 describe the alliances of the Gog-Magog nations and their targeted enemies—modern nations descended from the ten tribes of Israel and their allies. Ezekiel 39:3 prophesies that some of the “bows” and “arrows” of the attacking Gog-Magog alliance will be destroyed.

That is rather far fethched.. I have heard from a reliable bald headed source wearing a lungi and riding a bicycle that the real mission is to monitor the number of women using skin whitening creams and covertly report marriage success rates to the marketing companies.

The X-37B is a very “secretive” space weapons system, and its actual capabilities are not known. However, allow me to do some speculating regarding its mission and its capabilities. X-37B is designed to “disable foreign satellites or drop bombs as it makes its way around the earth.” I have little doubt that it can do both of these things. One obvious question is whether it can drop nuclear weaponry as well as conventional weaponry from its high vantage point in space. It would seem technologically easy for it to do both.

Could be pretty much anything from a secret mission to an operational error that took two weeks to recover from (considering it's rather new, and the new degree of patience one can have in dealing with this unmanned space-craft, and oh HELL NO! It ain’t any reason to scrap the mission and burn up a bunch of fuel to preserve the lives of the crew /: I Say Bullsheet!

In all likelihood, it was probably stopping off to deploy or service a satellite that the rest of the world doesn't need to know about
