Air Force X-37B space plane lands after two years in space

[kingofnerf]

The X-37B landed at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida early Sunday. The Air Force is mum about what the plane did in orbit after launching aboard a SpaceX rocket in 2017. The 780-day mission sets a new endurance record for the reusable test vehicle.

It looks like a space shuttle but is one-fourth the size at 29 feet.

How's the pilot Lol

If there was one and he was up there two years or more, I bet he has the muscular function of an infant!
