With what the X-37B space plane can do, and its multi-year endurance on-orbit, there’s no real need for an ultra expensive air-breathing manned vehicle.

Considering the size and dimensions, I'm thinking we're already testing stasis technology. Either that, or sending up some poor soul for extremely long-duration missions in space.

The X-37B has a predictable path. A manned aircraft can be launched and fly a multiple vector path with no warning.

"With what the X-37B space plane can do, and its multi-year endurance on-orbit, there’s no real need for an ultra expensive air-breathing manned vehicle." You assume it has a reconnaissance role, even in part, when there is no evidence to that effect. It's too cheap by a factor of 10 to compete with the KH-11s and to cheap by a further factor of 10 to compare to 'Misty.'
