Dirak writes "NASA intends to break its own aircraft-speed record for the second time this year by flying X43a scramjet ten times faster than sound. On November 15 the X-43A supersonic-combustion ramjet - or scramjet - will again take to the skies aiming for Mach 10."

Or is this just a method for getting something to go fast enough to put it into orbit without a rocket? (which would be quite useful)

Is it so they can outrun the defeat in state after state?
Kerry won in Ohio. In a landslide. I don't see how Bush could possibly have won, because nobody I know voted for him. Nobody here in Islington voted for him. Nobody. Any fool who reads the Guardian knew not to vote for that moron and everybody reads the Guardian, at least everybody one knows.
It was those dreadful neoconservatives. They faked the results. Americans are morons. Have you heard how they talk? They even sound American. Morons, all of them.

Of course it does, otherwise we could not hear the Tie-Fighters screech past.
