Boy and I thought that I came up with some really wild speculation to explain the things that are shown, that don't make sense.
Actually, if you check your flight history books you will find that the X-15 did have very small thrusters on it to "Help" manuver while in the edges of space, where there wasn't enough air pressure for conventional controls to work.
As to the thought that the forqard thrusters are sealed to avoid an influx of sea water, and are blended smoth with the body of the aircraft, so as to reduce drag... It works for me. I don't know if we have any air enginners out there, or other pilots, so your guess is as good as mine.
Anyone else have any thoghts on this?
