  • What about India's Brahmos 2 missile which will be flying in mach 7 speed

  • the Middle of the X-51. Right after the white area. I work @ the Aero Space Machine Shop where we machined & assembled that center. So crazy!

  • The day we reach the same speed of the alien spacecrafts is to far away. Nobody in this planet can even imagine such technology. I believe that money should be invest for the solution on the poverty.

  • u can't weaponize space, the aliens wont let you

  • Mach 6 isn't rly that fast compared to what's already been achieved in the past.

    The fastest ever was NASA's X-43A Scramjet (Mach 10!).

    & that's 3x more faster than the fastest 'manned' military aircraft (Blackbird SR-71) which was Mach 3..

  • OK, so what is the application of this technology? Cruise missile, some sort of space crafts?

  • this technology is so dated prob over 30 years ago they could do this. They must be bringing it to the public to allow cheaper space flight. Airliners could power themselves if they flew at 50,000ft just like this. Good to see!

  • hello stop, go on a driferent direction, this engine will never work on mass production,and it use jp-7 hidrocarbon,we will never go above mc 2 on regular bases velow fl50.use all you resorses on new form of energ,think ou of the box. god speed

  • Save the money for the economy, not rockets

  • If you think of it, this is like 1910 when all the tech we use today was in its infancy. Now we have all the new tech emerging for the 21 century.

    Also I think we need a lot of advancements in material engineering to be able to maintain all of these extremes.

  • Does anybody else think that this thing looks like a ghetto dirt devil?

  • They do everything for war, but nothing for the people.

  • @lennchma ~ very true. Look what I found:

    /watch?v=4a9ssy-xPG4

    (Hypersonic Weapon)

  • @lennchma Do you have ANY clue how much technology invented for the military has been retooled into civilian applications that make your life better. Know this internet thing you're using to bitch on youtube? Yah....made for war..

  • @screecwe So why the hell is more and more poverty all over the world?????????

    I don't care if they gave me computer, I don't care if they gave me the internet, I don't care for mobile phone.

    I just wanna live in peace and without constant fear!

    Military sucks, war sucks... and YOU.... YOU SUCK TOO.

  • @lennchma How do you do that? How do condemn certain technologies and blindly embrace others? How do you reconcile in your life the advancements in pharmaceuticals, material sciences and engineering were created in the cusp of war? You want to believe that you "don't care" that they gave you the computer or the 'net or even the mobile phone while using those media's to decry them.

  • @lennchma How do you selectively choose to discount the myriad of advancements generated in medical sciences alone directly due to the space sciences program and the "stepping stones" required to achieve it? These stepping stones are steeped in war and strife and suffering, as unfortunate as it may be. Von Braun's V2 rocket of 1940's Nazi Germany is the troubled genesis of many of our modern "luxuries", as hard as that may be to endure....it is simply... true.

  • @lennchma History is NOT a salad bar. You can't just take what you like and ignore the rest.

  • 10 years down the road and we'll be zipping to work in X-51s!!

  • Imagine a kinetic energy weapon slamming into a bunker at hypersonic speeds. No nuke or even explosives needed but it'll make one helluva mess were it hits.

  • This is not testing a new rocket. Specifically this is testing a new engine.

    I repeat, this is testing a new engine, not a rocket, so all you anti war types can shove it.

    This test can open amazing possibilities for space travel.

  • A waste of Tax Payers money!

  • @Mlanham9 This so called "waste of Tax Payers money" is what keeps other countries from fucking with us, gives us another way of getting into space, as well as creates jobs and keeps your whiny ass safe. So take that bullshit somewhere else.

  • @CuervoBlack06 Keeps me safe! Ha Ha! How may years do you think it will take to be complete with testin???? Your old ass will probably be dead bro. You dont know shit. And I think i am keeping your whiny ass safe more than this test engine! How many times have you Fucking Been To Iraq or Afghanistan????? You dont know shit!

  • @Mlanham9 Sure you did keyboard warrior. How many pencils did you sharpen while riding that desk out there. Huh? I'm sure you spilled a lot of blood for me with those paper cuts you accumulated in your air conditioned office while the real soldiers actually were out there doing real work so please kid. I seriously doubt you were in anything dangerous other than rubber band fights with the other secretaries.

  • @CuervoBlack06 Man your a real piece of shit huh! Nothing better to do all day besides check out new Military Innovations and wish you could be a part of something cool huh? I feel sorry for people like you! Your prob a Star Trek Fanatic huh! Well good talking to you loser!

  • @Mlanham9 Yet you are on here replying to me complaining about your "tax dollars" being wasted when you come off as an asshole still living at home with his parents. I don't know if you have noticed this but people do have computers at work as well. Go back to playing your COD or whatever war game that you play to pass the time of not having a girlfriend or a life.

  • Comment removed

  • @Mlanham9 FYI I could never join any military service do to my fibromyalgia so, NO I have never been to Iraq or Afghanistan and like I said before I doubt you were as well.

  • no one need

  • Yeah I love it this is awesome!

  • lol that is so retarded.... o ya lets make a Air rocket... and fly it into space....

  • what is the point of it?

  • testing new types of rockets for aerospace

  • maybe they should rename the vid :P

    And holdon, they want to send these rockets to get payloads into space??? "an AIR intaking rocket in space".... okay.

  • "Sir, I have good news and bad news : we sent a payload to the space station on the new X51"

    "That's great! what's the bad news?"

    "Sir, the X51 blew up the space station, but since the payload reached its destination, we're calling it 'the operation succeeded but the patient died'

  • love the name of the video... really describes the contents 7f632226-0121-4e1e-a748-b623ff­622602.wmv :s

  • what do you mean by that? i want to know a bit more :)

  • sounds really exiting!

  • pfft they're not forgetting it, they just don't care right now. if everyone thought like you then we'd never advance as a species.

    so I say go for it!

  • Nice title?

  • 7f632226-0121-4e1e-a748-b623ff­622602.wmv

  • Nice video title, noobs! lol.

  • so what does the pod it launches do?

  • How long will be the flight ? and how far the Scramjet vehicule is gonna travel ? (during the test)

  • 7f632226-0121-4e1e-a748-b623ff­622602.wmv

    Nice Title.

  • @neerdy5 was just uploaded give it a few minutes possibly hours and the name will be changed cuz if uv ever uploaded a vid it procceses it after it uploads takes a few minutes

  • @stupidkid1337 ZOMG

  • X-51 is a rocket mount on WoW =D

  • lol at title interesting concept using them to aid space station delivery

  • I like the title allot

    But yeah the idea of scram jets to put payloads into space. Sure they can't do it alone but they certainly can AID in the process. Lets just hope this technology works well enough.

  • wheres b2?

  • 6th

  • 1st

  • lol file name fail :D

  • @nishan29

    true! :D

  • yer lol very profesonal i like it you dont know what your gona watch

  • oh yeah totally sweet title

  • awesome title
