I am a bit frustrated by the comments. NASA is not just a space agency; they do fight research. Yet, it seems like no one can imagine why NASA might be interested in having an operational Mach 3 aircraft. Does the military have something more advanced? Maybe, even probably, but NASA can't get their hands on it for civilian fight research.
And it's not a secret anymore than what I had for breakfast is a secret. Just because I haven't made a press release doesn't mean I'm hiding anything. More than likely, someone is investigating what it would take to get the airplane flying again before a final decision is made on whether it's worth doing.
