Since we're speculating...

Say the USA decides to infiltrate Iran (or whatever "enemy du jour"
washington politicians decide to have)

Could they design a "manned" version of the X37 that could have *1 or 2
persons in sleeping position (as opposed to being seated), launch them
from the USA, and have then drop real fast inside of the target enemy
country without being detected ?


no for too many reasons to post here
