BLITZER: The military's big test of the new super fast jet didn't go so well. The X-51 Waverider ended up spinning out of control and had to be destroyed. Our Pentagon correspondent Chris Lawrence is joining us to tell us what went so horribly wrong. What happened, Chris?</s>CHRIS LAWRENCE, CNN PENTAGON CORRESPONDENT: Well, Wolf, it was always scheduled to go into the ocean, but not after just 30 seconds. The Air Force is telling us that the Waverider did safely separate from that B-52 that carried it into the air and the rocket boosters fired as planned. But then they noticed the problem, a fault in one of the control fins and 30 seconds later it lost control and crashed. Now the big question is, what next? The Air Force had bought four of these Waveriders, tested now three of them. It has one left and it's spent about $140 million on this hypersonic technology. But they've only budgeted up until this test yesterday, Wolf. So it remains to be seen if they've got the money to still use that last Waverider. Hopefully, you didn't cancel your round trip ticket on American Airlines from here to Europe.</s>BLITZER: Not yet. All right, thanks very much, Chris Lawrence.
