New Tech

Hi everyone, here's another class post.  (I'll try to put up a book review post sometime this week!)

The most innovative and newest piece of technology is the new spaceplane launched by the military.  It was an unmanned space vehicle, slightly less than 30 feet long and 15 feet wide.  That's smaller than the space shuttle.  It went up into space for a total of seven months and came back to Earth this month.  Nobody knew about the spaceplane because it was a classified operation, but someone leaked it to the public.

With this new technology, there is so much we can do in space.  Besides sending humans to do work, we could now put robots in or on this spaceplane and use them to do work for us.  It is not known exactly what the spaceplane is supposed to do yet, but it could be used for many things.  We could send it to explore distant planets, or planets that humans cannot explore.  We could also use it for faster transportation through space.  With so much new technology, there is no limit to what we cannot do.
