That's the theme of my latest column at TechCentralStation:

At this URL Rand says:
The significance of this flight was not that it was an in-flight
test of a scramjet, but that it generated sufficient thrust to
actually accelerate the vehicle.

Are we sure that it had more thrust than drag? For how much
of the 10 seconds? Do we know the before and after speeds
around these 10 seconds? Are you sure that you are not part
of the hyper-hype? :-)
