https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/09/07/spacex_x37b_spy_plane_launch/ >Video SpaceX today successfully launched the US Air Force's secretive mini-space-shuttle X-37B from the biz's launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center on Cape Canaveral, Florida. >The blastoff was scheduled for Wednesday and delayed, until now, by bad weather as Hurricane Irma menaced the Sunshine State. It was SpaceX's first shot at launching the X-37B. Usually the United Launch Alliance handles the Air Force's launch needs using an Atlas V rocket, but this time Elon Musk's company got the contract, almost certainly on the grounds that the Musketeers can do launches a lot more cheaply than the ULA.
