“The sky is no longer the limit for the Air Force and, if Congress approves, the U.S. Space Force.”-General David L. Goldfein, U.S. Air Force
After two years in orbit, the space drone X-37B returned to Earth, setting a record: “The X-37B continues to demonstrate the importance of a reusable spaceplane. Each successive mission advances our nation’s space capabilities.”-Barbara Barrett, Secretary of the Air Force

At 03:15 Eastern U.S. Time, 27OCT2019, the Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV) landed at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, completing 780 days in orbit during its fifth test mission: “This program continues to push the envelope as the world’s only reusable space vehicle. With a successful landing today, the X-37B completed its longest flight to date and successfully completed all mission objectives. This mission successfully hosted Air Force Research Laboratory experiments, among others, as well as providing a ride for small satellites.”-Randy Walden, Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office
You should keep in mind how significant the 780 days in orbit are, as the Boeing X-37B was originally designed for only 270 day-orbits.

X-37B Mission-5 launched on 07SEP2017 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, on-board a Space X Falcon 9 booster (Air Force Awards Launch Services Contracts to SpaceX). Mission-6 will launch sometime in 2020.

What’s it like to have the X-37B fly over your head? Watch the video:
Before the use of a SpaceX rocket, the X-37B was launched by the old Atlas-5. Video, March 2015, Atlas-5 rocket launches AFSPC-5 satellite carrying X-37B from Cape Canaveral:

On 23OCT2019, the National Guard’s 21st Weapons of Mass Destruction-Civil Support Team (WMD-CST) Talon-4 robot was deployed in response to a potential WMD crime scene.

Talon-4 was used to conduct an initial inspection of the scene, before humans went in.

The ‘crime scene’ was inside a New Jersey commuter train. National Guard personnel suited-up to inspect the scene for themselves.

Samples were taken and everything turned out okay.

It was all part of training for New Jersey’s 21st WMD-CST, which supports silly-vilian (civilian) authorities in responding to man-made or natural disasters by identifying chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear substances, assess the consequences, and advises on response measures.
