starannihilator writes "Wired News is reporting that NASA is planning on using its new SCRAMJET to break the aircraft speed record (on Earth, anyway) at Mach 10 (7,000 mph or 10-times the speed of sound). Using the hypersonic X-43A, NASA hopes to break the record on Monday, November 15th."

  Not as bad as their dupe google story they went as far as deleting (after it racked up about 25 comments, pretty much all flaming slashdot for posting a dupe within 3 hours of the original).
  
  My post to it was still in my comment history for a few hours after, then I guess they realised they needed to trash all references to the SID or the next story would carry its posts.
  
  Still have my moderation history in my messages though,

I emailed daddypants half an hour ago about the dupe.

Still, it gets posted.

  Yeah, none of the messages I've sent to daddypants have ever been answered.
  
  Dead links, articles with no links to the stories, dupes, articles with blatant typos (like Christopher Reeves), and so forth.
  
  Oh well.

    I got a reply ONCE, I don't remember who from, but I think the topic was grammar. "Whoops" was the reply.

Man, I coulda sworn I just read [slashdot.org] about this not too long ago. I wonder if anything has changed since then.

Ahhh, this time it was posted by Michael, not Commander Taco! Cool! I like the Michael stories better.

If the design could be made stable enough for longer flights, engineers believe the aerospace and defense industries might one day use it to build cheaper rockets and faster missiles.

Cheaper rockets and faster missiles--I feel safer already. And just think: while it may deliver a deadly nuclear warhead, at least it doesn't pollute on the way to delivering it.

  No no no. You don't understand the implications.
  
  The reason there is a duplicate is they've already done the test, but in a freak accident they slingshotted around the Earth's gravity well, and have gone back in time.
  
  Now with their special future knowledge, they're announcing they're about to try it again. :-P

The previous story was about NASA's scramjet, while this one is about Wired's story about it.

Totally different, see?

  Actually it was ST:V that beat.. or rather reached the warp 10 record, although if you read some accounts the older series used to talk about a different scale which went up to warp 13
