Yes. But what's that got to do with making ridiculously fast unmanned military aircraft?
The 1st goal should be to get into orbit(and preferably down again) in a low cost, safe and reliable manner. Once we get that little problem sorted the rest is mostly straight forward engineering and a few biological problems.

Heh this is as far as we get these days.

Oh good. A new, ultra expensive weapon capable of killing the government's enemies before they know they've been hit. Because none of the other weapon systems can do that.

You guys do know that not EVERYTHING DARPA does is about weapons. Sure, sometimes its a justification, but some of this stuff isn't even militarily practical, they just said it was so they could do it.

Thank you PR, just figured we needed a place for all the weird I come across on my voyage across the internet.

Did occur to me that the asteroid mining plan might be a bit problematic, seems they want to put them orbit to do the mining, 1 little push in the wrong direction and you've got an instant WMD... I guess they will just have to declare space as American property and threaten any other nations/companys who might want to mine asteroids too.
