The mini military space plane is poised for liftoff Wednesday on another long orbital test flight. The three previous missions also began with rocket launches from Cape canaveral Air force station.
Although largely mum about this X-37b flight, the Air force has acknowledged a thruster experiment involving electric propulsion.

The app also finds bike-friendly roads, hazards and alerts, and could'communicate'with other vehicles.

#Could roads made from PLASTIC spell the end of potholes? Recycled bottles could finally end the scourge of every motorist By Jack Millner For Mailonline Published:
16:14 GMT, 14 july 2015 Updated: 17:43 GMT, 14 july 2015 Crumbling and neglected roads can lead to dangerous potholes
and agonising delays as a result of costly road works. But a new design could mean when a section of road gets damaged,
it can easily be removed and replaced, after a Dutch company announced their plans to build prefab plastic roads that could slot together like Lego bricks.
The project, dubbed Plasticroad, would see Rotterdam become the first city in the world to lay down plastic road tiles made in a factory in advance.
The company behind the idea, construction firm Volkerwessels, said that the surface would require less maintenance than the traditional road building material asphalt

both in laying the roads and maintenance,'Rolf Mars, the director of Volkerwessels'roads subdivision,

but the company say they will be ready to lay down the first plastic roads within three years.
Ideas suggested include heated roads or ultra-quiet surfaces.''It's still an idea on paper at the moment;
