The x-37b is a satellite interceptor.

So we started this.

Fun Fact:

The X-37 program was approved, funded, and developed as the next evolution of NASA's Shuttle program... until the CIA decided to take it over for it's own use.

The Boeing X-37, also known as the Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV), is a reusable robotic spacecraft. It is boosted into space by a launch vehicle, then re-enters Earth's atmosphere and lands as a spaceplane. The X-37 is operated by the Department of the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office, in collaboration with United States Space Force,[1] for orbital spaceflight missions intended to demonstrate reusable space technologies. It is a 120-percent-scaled derivative of the earlier Boeing X-40. The X-37 began as a NASA project in 1999, before being transferred to the United States Department of Defense in 2004. Until 2019, the program was managed by Air Force Space Command.[2]

The Deep State fucked over our entire Space Exploration Program to weaponize it for themselves.

Russia has some cool maneuverable satellites that approach and follow Western satellites, presumably loaded with sensors to record signals and other electrical activity.
