According to Demetri Sevastopulo at the Financial Times, China tested something that sounds a whole lot like FOBS with an HGV. Something that orbited the globe and dropped a hypersonic glide vehicle against a target.&amp;nbsp; Jeffrey, Aaron, and Scott try to figure out what actually was tested (HGV-FOBS?
