"Shrouded by darkness, the military’s miniature space shuttle -- a

"Rather than hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells like the space shuttle
orbiters, the X-37B is powered by gallium arsenide solar cells with
lithium-ion batteries."

WHAT DID THEY JUST SAY? *Now they're
using solar cells and lithium-ion batteries?!

Who predicted that?

Since spacecraft have been using solar cells and rechargable batteries for
about a half a century now, it would be hard to say who predicted such a
thing.

Though your dim little mind probably thinks they are running the engines
of a spacecraft with electricity.

OPERATIVE PHRASE:

"Rather than hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells like the space shuttle
orbiters,"
