President Donald Trump said Friday that a planned U.S. "super duper missile" could outpace those in the nuclear arsenals of foreign nations as he was presented with the official flag of the newly created military branch, Space Force, in the Oval Office.
"I call it the super duper missile and I heard the other night, 17 times faster than what they have right now," Trump said in reference to Russia and China's nuclear weapons at the beginning of the ceremony. "Space is going to be the future, both in terms of defense and offense and so many other things and already what I'm hearing and based on reports, we're now the leader on space."
Trump was presented with the flag by senior military officials, including chief master sergeant in the U.S. Space Force, Roger Towberman, and Gen.

We set the powered flight record in 2004 at Mach 9.6.
We’ve some a long way since.

Which is essential to stay below radar.
Ours will fly on it’s own power and be able to maneuver. Like a “super duper” Tomahawk.”
I want one. Sounds like a great solution to the slow drivers blocking the left lane during commute hour.
Rapid transit!
SCRAMJET is here, I’m only guessing.
SCRAMJET has been here for 8 years that I know of.

It’s been materials for the shell that have been the hang-up, along with fuel capacity.
