US Air Force set to fly Mach-6 scramjet

Is that the spaceship thing that was in that other article about some Canadian guy discovering some secret U.S. jet in low orbit. Has NASA on it so I am assuming yes?

Nope. Two different things. The 'secret' spaceplane is just a small space shuttle while the scramjet thingy is an aircraft that can take off and land under its own power.

Here's a picture of the scramjet...



and here's the not-so-secret spaceplane...



So the spaceplane is reportedly unmanned but am I wrong in noting that it looks like there are two windows on that thing that are covered by a tarp of some sort?

Well Obama did say he was trying to go for unmanned space exploration but I assume theres cargo room for a human(s) just incase or for other uses. That would be my guess.

As for the scramjet, so basicly it can function without the use of fuel? If so, that's pretty cool.

Well I want to know what is so secret about this space plane that will prbably be used for bringing up military satellites...

Not sure why this is so secret anyhow.
