Does anyone know anything about the "Aurora" spy plane that supposedly is based at Area 51.
It is supposed to do about Mach 6+ and fly at the edge of space.
Here are some links about it:

This spy plane was supposed to replace the SR-71 "Blackbird" (which suddenly went out of service in 1998.)

According to some sources, the project was cancelled due to cost.

Well, first of all, that is a dud link. This is the correct one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_%28aircraft%29
And I think it is still in service, the US still needs strategic recon.

One way of looking at it, the USA has never retired a spy plane before a new one is up and running.
