Somewhat off topic, but sometime the advertisement for this poster pops up on the avpress website:

http://www.avpress.com/vp/poster.hts

It has the X33 and Venture Star on it. Full list of planes here:

As is always the case, there must be some sort of politics behind the X33 cancellation, like perhaps it is lanuched from the wrong state. ;-)

You can see why the USAF wants such a ship. Star Wars part two will be a megaflop if the spy satellites can't be replaced on a moments notice should some "unfortunate accident" happen to one of the birds, and the Venture Star is just what Dr. Strangelove needs to remedy the situation.
