NYPost: China developing 6,000 mph hypersonic nuke missile ‘based on design’ ditched by NASA 

China is developing a 6,000 mph hypersonic nuke missile engine which is reportedly based on a design abandoned by Nasa — as it forges ahead in an arms race with the West. 

A Chinese research team has built and tested a prototype based on a radical design by an American space agency scientist more than two decades ago. 

Most hypersonic aircraft have an engine at the belly. But the experimental Two-Stage Vehicle (TSV) X-plane was driven by two separate engines on the sides. 

It was proposed by Ming Han Tang, a Chinese American who was the chief engineer of Nasa’s hypersonic programme in the late 1990s, reports South China Morning Post.

Good news is NASA is woke but for real they are just a bunch of dumbdasses. When if the USAF missileers were busted for mass cheating I knew where we were as a country. But they are woke. That's the good news.

I didn't think china had in them to do hypersonic anything. They stole it from open documents from nasa. This is really stupid.
