- rbanffy 13y agoThe coolest thing is the analog computer that seamlessly went between control surfaces and RCS as if it were flying using surfaces within an atmosphere. It may not be a "real" plane, but that doesn't make it any less amazing. I'd love to see the X-15 progress into the X-20 and onwards.
