The Pentagon on Thursday held a successful test flight of a flying bomb that travels faster than the speed of sound and will give military planners the ability to strike targets anywhere in the world in less than a hour.

...

On August 11, the Pentagon test flew another hypersonic glider dubbed HTV-2, which is capable of flying 27,000 kilometers per hour, but it was a failure.
The AHW's range is less than that of the HTV-2, the Congressional Research Service said in a report, without providing specifics.

What the hell? How can a range of "ANYWHERE" be less than the range of something else?


Oh well.

I don't know but a "flying bomb" sounds scary.

One way trip versus round trip. They call it a glider so it may serve a different purpose but still be part of the same program.

Maybe the range of the HTV-2 included the moon....we may need to bomb it someday...who knows?
