X-37B Spaceplane Shares Earth Image For First Time As New Mission Details Emerge

[TWZ] For the first time, the U.S. Space Force has released a photo of Earth taken by one of its secretive X-37B mini-shuttles. The image appears to be the first in-orbit shot from the craft of any kind to be officially released by the Pentagon. However, a brief video clip published in 2023 did show the service-module-equipped X-37B separating from its launch rocket after being lofted into space in 2020.
There is much more at the link including an extremely cool 27 minute video of the Falcon Heavy launching the spaceplane. Kinda makes you proud to be an American which is something I haven't been able to say in a while.
