"The only problem with this is that - unless they are talking about

The military is launching the little X-47b next month. Why? Just to
blow a hundred million?

Come on! Wake up and smell what's brewing!

The military has made it clear they want a far more advanced
and capable spacecraft then envisioned with either the X-33
or 47b.
