This explains the telltale stop, start vapor trail in the skys, and not surprisingly NASA's reluctance to say anything!

See NASA does keep some secrets, or try's to!

This thing should be able to reach Mach 6 and at least Mach 10 at 80,000 feet, scramjet speeds.

Which means if they can figure out how to drop a nuke at scramjet speeds, they would be untouchable during a conflict.

I will never watch this movie again, in the same way.
