My theory is that it captures foreign satellites inside it's big bay and then brings them home for examination.

It can also, of course, bring things into orbit in that same bay.

Even people.

Or bring them back, too - like in an emergency.

Anybody remember the "XRV Rescue Glider" from the 1969 movie "Marooned"?

And here's the NASA X-38 experimental space rescue vehicle:

And here is the actual X-37 UAV currently in orbit:

I agree waht you posted. Also,Marooned was a good movie. The spaceraft Gene Hackman was “Ironman One”. David Jansen was in it and flew the rescue craft
