Payload bay is too small to hold normal sized satellites.
Jack Young
if you ever played kerbal you'd know how hard that is
Noah Miller
Orbital rendezvous is trivial. The issue with the X-37 isn't getting to an enemy satellite, it's the fact that it's impossible to disguise what you're doing.
Sebastian Mitchell
Could you imagine if they stole a planet or some shit lmao how crazy would that be idk I'm drunk rn
Jace Butler
what the fuck suits are those guys wearing
Tyler Sanchez
Well, What would we be doing about it?
Joseph Sullivan
You understand that its physically impossible to steal a planet right?
Isaac Richardson
You can literally steal a planet with a star shut the fuck up you don't know what you're talking about
Benjamin Powell
They're HAZMAT suits. The X-37, like most orbital spacecraft, uses hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide as propellants. Both of these chemicals, despite their storability for use as fuels, are exceedingly toxic. They keep the suits on till they know that there aren’t any leaks or residual propellant to worry about.
Dominic Price
As a side note, you can find similar pictures of people in those suits approaching the space shuttles right after they landed.
Tyler Gonzalez
We stole earth from the dinosaurs tho
Nathaniel Gray
Dumbass giant birds deserved it. I smile every time I eat chicken, knowing I’m consuming a descendant of one of the fucks that ate our mammalian ancestors.

Punches your satellite out of orbit

Levi Richardson
Bro the Dino’s were simple creatures that simply wanted to live. If a dumb as mammal messed with us, then they got what they deserved.
>inb4 they needed food
Fuck the flint stones. Dino meat doesn’t even taste good, and it has worms. Worthless as a food item.

itd be funny if they stole china's satellite that is up there to fuck with other satellites
the maximum fuck you.
Justin Ward
As was mentioned previously, the X-37 is too small to carry back most satellites from orbit. People don’t realize this, but your average intelligence satellite can often approach the size of a school bus. You’d need something on par with the space shuttle to just carry spacecraft back from orbit like that.
Jayden Jenkins
learn what a joke is. i swear to god
Grayson Ward
No.
Julian Roberts
Not really a great idea. Hydrazine is explosive and satellites have this finicky thing called radiative balance, even apart from anti-tamper devices.
Ethan Cox
Is there any evidence to suggest that military satellites have anti-tamper systems beyond the operating country being able to track spacecraft that approach their satellites? It always seemed like a cool idea that would be relatively trivial to implement, but I’ve never heard of anyone actually doing it. I guess it would be classified if anyone did, but still.

You can literally just tie a knot around it and pull it anywhere you want

Kayden Price
Ruskies publicly announced this when the Space Shuttle was put into service...
Leo Hughes
Why not just hacker man a satalite and control it or move it to an enemy position and drop it on there heads
Hudson Richardson
Huh, never knew that. Smart move, though, considering Russia at the time wouldn’t have had an equivalent capability as a deterrent. It would’ve been interesting to see what the Soviets would’ve done with Buran had it been completed sooner.
Brody Richardson
I stole a planet once it was cool ask me how
Andrew Gomez
How? Was it cool?
Caleb Myers
>stealing satellite
>not just disassembling crucial hardware to take back
You're all fucking retarded.
Ian Brooks
yes
Austin Gomez
>yiiiiikes cant you just "pretend" to be retarded and laugh about retarded "jokes" like me?
Grayson Rivera
it isnt just a matter of too small
Satellites arent built for retrival from space and you have to take full faith that it willl play along
One unfavourable timed correction by the satellite and your entire trillion dolllar meme might just blow up right along or get damaged that will lead to a failed reentry
One inconvenient attempt to get rid of solar panels and your and the same shit can happen
Even after retrival you might just wreck your trillion dolllar meme from the inside
Itss just terminator tier fantasies of people that have not the faintest clue how delicate spacecraft are.
Henry Garcia
To some extent that’s true. However, the shuttle recovered a broken satellite at least one time, and had no issues securing the payload for reentry. That’s the sort of thing that requires deep planning, on site astronauts, and systems knowledge that you won’t be able to obtain about an enemy spacecraft, though. Potentially non-cooperative satellite recovery was definitely one of the design considerations that the DOD placed on the shuttle program early on.
Ian Moore
Maybe?
Zachary Garcia
Austin Murphy
>Children of a Dead Earth
Is it any fun?
Asher Green
it doesn't do that, it parks in the way of the other satellite's solar arrays and drains the battery.
Carter Perez
Yes, as long as your computer isnt a potato
Tyler Brown
Didn't the Russians also mount an autocannon on one of their space stations?
Andrew Kelly
What manner of absolute fucking retard came up this piece of shit of a design? What are these things supposed to do? Radiate heat? Into the fucking emptiness of space? Why are americans so absolute fucking ignorant imbeciles? Holy fucking shit.
Andrew Anderson
Yes, that's exactly what they're supposed to do. I suggest you read up on how radiation works.
Adrian Cook
Jesus fucking Christ.
Brandon Barnes
How else is it supposed to get rid of heat?
Evan Reyes
That user is a massive retard or just baiting.
Ian Kelly
>this is the best thread on Jow Forums right now.
What a time to be alive.
Kevin Rodriguez
This must be bait. Nobody is this retarded surely?
Kayden Hall
I bought it, it's more of a puzzle game with maths. I thought it'd be a sandbox kind of warfare thing.
Course I was really drunk and just fucking around with the campaign so I could've missed the cool part
David Watson
Where else does waste heat go genius?
Dominic Jackson
this
Eli Carter
Probably just a testbed for new materials/optics/propulsion systems that he USAF can retrieve and evaluate later. They lost that capability when the shuttle stopped flying.
Carter Mitchell
Jews are in the process right now.

It's easily trackable even by amateurs.
It's a modular platform to test new spy sat equipment because actual spy sats cost billions of $.

Jaxon Price
Yup, still have no idea why the fuck they decided to use hydrazine for the EPUs on those things.
Liam Campbell
This is the official story and, all things considered, its probably true. I've heard tons of outlandish theories about what the x37 does, none of which would require a reusable vehicle and the enormous mass penalty that entails. Pretty boring explanation but its the most likely.
Easton Smith
Plus, they've listed some of the experiments they included on board, and none of them are particularly made-up sounding.

>Sounds awesome, but is actually a shit job that entails manually securing satellites in the orbital wrecker shuttle and sometimes changing a solar panel damaged by the massive orbital debris cloud caused by the Sino-US satellite war of 2029.
>If the job sounds bad keep in mind advancement is great and there's an enlistment bonus due to inherent job hazards and 'Made by lowest bidder' pressure suits.
Benjamin Campbell
All crash sites require full HAZMAT gear, it’s SOP. Almost all aircraft gearboxes have inner coatings that are extremely toxic, sensors tend to have things like Germanium, etc. A crash tends to blow all that shit apart and you really don’t want all that nasty stuff in your system.
>t. Muhreen Huey/Cobra mech.
Brody Jones
Interesting. I never knew that.
Mason Parker
When aircraft impact, a lot of components that the internals never see daylight get powederized, and it leaves all the nasty shit in the air. Coatings of fuel cells, lenses etc. second most dangerous thing at a site after UXO. Crash sites are fucking nasty all around
Gabriel Robinson
That makes a lot of sense. I guess it's good to hear that the military takes potential health effects from stuff like that seriously.
Aaron Wilson
Wasnt this the premise of a James Bond movie?
Samuel Robinson
You Only Live Twice. It's pretty much this, except they were stealing manned spacecraft to start a war between the US and the USSR. Also, Sean Connery disguises himself as a Japanese guy and fake marries a local girl to blend in. Great movie, but there's no way it'd ever get made today.
Jason Nelson

Okay but this did make me laugh a little.
