This was a NASA project based on borrowed technology of the 40s. It was not
USAF project.
The first flight of the space shuttle prototype was done in the mid 60s and
went through serious of changes.
As with the X-33, the replacement vehicle, which is now scrapped for an
updated version of a useable space delivery shuttle.
