The CBS article demonstrates space science. I did not suspect X-37B was doing science. I had assumed it was another spook bird.

For most of its life, the ISS has done no science. Science was not possible until the station could support a fourth astronaut. That has only happened recently after spending over $80billion. Most space science is done by unmanned birds including the most successful science experiment - Hubble.
