The X-37B is like a mini shuttle that has a small cargo area so it either launches secret satellites or he retrieves them. Nobody really knows but this thing will probably be in space for years again. What does the pelican military braintrust think of the X-37B?

Also why are there 3 or 4 people in the exact same space suits they have in the movie The Arrival? WTF are they dealing with?
It fits in its payload faring wings out- the wings do not retract. It's not easy to judge the scale in most of the pictures.
