X-37B RTB!!

http://defensenews.com/story.php?i=5176376&c=AME&s=TOP

The USAF's experimental (and apparently armored) space drone comes home after 270 days in orbit.

Test flight called a success despite a tire blow out on landing. There were signs of 7 impacts with space debris/ (or space gun hits? )

A second prototype is under construction.

EDIT: I saw the X-37B fly by with my binoculars months ago. Very cool.
