@wellerstein Not just a cold war thing, and not so unusual actually: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48WrbsPYTzk …

@gbrumfiel Oh, I know. Space Shuttles and all that. But something about the tiny lil' plane on the end of that big ol' rocket... -
@wellerstein Right, but that's the Sierra Nevada design... Plus the X-37B. It's not as far fetched as it seems. Safer than shuttle anyway.
