They did it, NASA flew their scram-jet powered plane up to Mach 7, before plummeting into the ocean. Oh the possibilities! *glee*

And yes, I just said glee.

NASA plans to launch a third hypersonic plane in the fall with the goal of flying the aircraft at Mach 10, or about 6,750 mph.

This should be fun to watch.

I'd actually like to see this thing hit the water...
