The X-43A is a high-risk, high-payoff flight research program.
Designed to fly at seven and ten times the speed of sound, and
use scramjet engines instead of traditional rocket power, the
small, 12-foot-long X-43A could represent a major leap forward
toward the goal of providing faster, more reliable and less
expensive access to space.

Again with the air-breathing, space launch vehicle religion. I'm
wondering if the guys working on the program believe in the
air-breathing, space launch vehicle religion, or if they're just using
the religion to gain political (monetary) support for the program.
