Failed Falcon: Pentagon loses hypersonic aircraft over Pacific Ocean

Here's what we know. We know how to boost the aircraft to near space. We know how to insert the aircraft into atmospheric hypersonic flight. We do not yet know how to achieve the desired control during the aerodynamic phase of flight. It's vexing; I'm confident there is a solution. We have to find it. As today’s flight indicates, high-Mach flight in the atmosphere is virtually uncharted territory

BAD HARDWARE WEEK: Loss of memory? , because Space Shuttle was able to do it even 30 years ago ! Let as warn you: When operational HTV will be able to carry 5 tons thermo nuclear bomb in a Stealth Falcon airplane less than hour in the whole World. More of  those Falcons will make any current nuclear deterrent agreement quite obsolete.
