[MilCom] NASA has a Predator?

[Joe Cobb]

I've been playing with Flight Explorer and everytime i
sign on i always check NASA in the a/c id bar.  Well,
it's showing NASA 870 and under a/c code it says MQ-9.
 I googled it and it come up as the UAV Predator.  So
NASA is flying a UAV (i guess for testing) and like
their other planes it's showing up on Flight Explorer
(and other flight trackers i assume).  It's current
path @ 0235Z shows it over Idaho and it's scheduled
flight time is from 2208Z to 1423Z.  Talk about a long
loiter time.  Oh well, i thought i would throw that
out.  Kind of interesting.
