No kidding. That is why the info block has the date of 2004 in it. It is still pretty cool to see the X-43.

I love such extreme technologies, but there is a sad aspect to them, their purpose....dropping a fat nuke anywhere in the world well under 2 hours in this case. But the USAF surely has nukes in orbit, as planned since the early 60s, that can do it readily.
