The view from Cape Canaveral appears to be a successful launch of the first X-37B from Air Force Station. The secret military mission of the test vehicle will certainly turn heads around the world tonight and in the days and months ahead. More from The Christian Science Monitor, The Los Angles Times, the Associated Press, and Popular Mechanics.
Meanwhile, a second hypersonic space vehicle - the Falcon Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2 - launched from the Vandenberg US Air Force Base in California, on a Mach 20 flight out and over the Pacific Ocean, boosted by a new Minotaur IV Lite rocket. Both spaceplanes took to the sky on the same day and minutes apart.
