US weapon of mass destruction crashes in to the Pacific

Peace will be assured with the Falcon HTV-2
I see the US military industrial complex lost one of its experimental weapons of mass destruction during a test flight.  The hypersonic unmanned aircraft named the Falcon Hypersonic Test Vehicle 2 (HTV-2) is designed to travel at about 13,000 miles an hour and reach any target in the world in less than an hour; it was tested Thursday and apparently lost.  The drone is launched from on top of a rocket.

This is not the first time the US military has lost one of its weapons of mass destruction, the same happened with an earlier test. According to the reports, "The aircraft took off using a Minotaur IV rocket from Vanderberg Air Force Base in California early on Thursday." and is fired from the edge of space so I guess it could have burned up in the atmosphere or as they seem to think, crashed in tot he Pacific.

The first test flight of a HTV-2 readers might recall ended with the craft crashing into the Pacific. I have no idea of the cost of such experiments but the money is worth it surely as reports I've read suggest the HTV-2 flight time between New York City and Los Angeles would be less than 12 minutes so in between killing evildoers and other haters of our freedoms we can go from the famous Biltmore Hotel to Sachs Fifth Avenue and back in a few hours.

The hypersonic drone will be able to kill very efficiently and not cost American lives if you don't count the hospitals that won't be be built or the infrastructure and collapsing bridges that won't be repaired, or the old folks that will die due to cuts in social services in order to divert money to hunting the evil doers.

The drone is only in the experimental stage, “The military has a long way to go before hypersonic vehicles are ready for deployment.”says one analyst.  But it will be an incredible weapon once we get there and freedom for the world's people's will be ensured.

Those stupid Cubans, they send doctors all over the world helping other countries heal their sick when its obvious that the F16's and new F22's are what the people of these countries want and what will help them.

 The Falcon HTV-2-----what better way to spend taxpayer dollars.
