Secret Spacecraft in space for a year now

[SilentFeathers]

I wonder what they're planning on doing with this spacecraft?

Secret mission accomplished: America's mysterious space plane to land after a YEAR in orbit - and no one knows what it did up there
The X-37B has been circling the Earth at 17,000mph and was due to land in California in December
Mission of highly classified robotic plane extended for unknown reasons
Will now land in mid- to late-June

The U.S Air Force’s highly secret unmanned space plane will land in June - ending a year-long mission in orbit.

The experimental Boeing X37-B has been circling Earth at 17,000 miles per hour and was due to land in California in December. It is now expected to land in mid to late June.

At launch, the space plane was accompanied by staff in biohazard suits, leading to speculation that there were radioactive components on board.

Hey mate,

Well, analyzing the above news and this other one:

"The secretive government agency (NRO) that flies spy satellites has made a stunning gift to NASA: two exquisite telescopes as big and powerful (twice as powerful, actually) as the Hubble Space Telescope."

All we can conclude is that NASA is just a kid´s toy, compared to what happens behind the curtains.

Cheers,

Raf.

PS: If the NRO gave these two super powerful spy telescopes to NASA, what did they use to replace them? If these two are more powerful than Hubble, well, I can´t even imagine how powerful their new "toys" are.
