On Thursday,sexasia | Adult Movies Online as Hurricane Irma makes its way toward Florida for possible landfall this weekend, SpaceX managed to launch a secret, un-crewed space plan for the U.S. Air Force — just in the nick of time.
The Elon Musk-founded company lofted the X-37B space plane to orbit atop a Falcon 9 rocket at 10 a.m. ET from Cape Canaveral, Florida. About 10 minutes later, the first stage of the rocket came in for a picture-perfect landing back on a pad at the Cape.

We do know that the experimental program is designed to help work out the kinks in reusable spacecraft, and there are two X-37B vehicles, built by Boeing.

The space planes aren't very large, clocking in at 29 feet long and 9 feet 6 inches high, but they are able to stay in orbit for months or even years.
The X-37B mission that ended in May lasted for 718 days in space.
Though we don't know much about the X-37B's mission specifics, we do know a little bit about where it's going in orbit thanks to SpaceX.
The company was able to land the first stage of its rocket back on solid ground instead of a drone ship in the ocean. SpaceX can only perform these land landings if its payload is relatively light or if it's heavy and going to a low orbit.
The Air Force hasn't yet disclosed when the X-37B will come back to Earth.
