The Pentagon has plans for a spacecraft which could bomb targets from outer space. It would drop bombs from 60 miles up and travel halfway around the world in 90 minutes. From that height the bombs wouldn\’t even need warheads.

My favorite quote from the article says the bomber \”…could drop precision bombs from heights of 60 miles or more.\” Now, it\’s well known that smart bombs dropped from B-2 bombers in Desert Storm and Kosovo missed their targets. If the military can\’t hit a target from 7 miles up, there\’s no way they can hit something from 60.

Not only that, but the bomber would use technology from NASA\’s X-33 reusable spacecraft program, which was cancelled because of technical problems. So all of a sudden the Pentagon can get it to work?

Another great idea from the Bush administration.
