What flies at 13,000 miles per hour, can withstand temperatures of 3,500 degrees Fahrenheit, and, apparently, is very hard to spot? The Falcon Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2, or HTV-2, an unmanned aircraft that was launched Thursday by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
Aside from the idea of DARPA tweeting, it sounds very cool.
