I stand corrected. It's only natural though. After all the money they poured into its development and initial deployment and the Groom Lake facility where it was tested. High five for the designers and builders of the day. Nothing is built to last this long anymore. Plus it took a near space shot to bring one down. Not an easy feat in and of itself. Props to the Soviets on their aim.

Note to other countries who aim to misbehave... "We're looking at choo"
