I firmly believe that Lockheed wants us to firmly believe the SR-72 exists. They seem to drag it out and shake its chains whenever they're due for an earnings report. Especially when the Chinese do the same.

I'm not willing to believe we went from "nine minutes of flight after being launched on an MX Missile" in 2011 to "we've totally got this hypersonic spy drone" in 2015.
