As soon as 2023, the United States military could have a new spacecraft to transport troops to space and low Earth orbit locations anywhere in the world within three hours.

Colorado-based aerospace company Sierra Space announced Sept. 8, 2022 that it signed a research and development contract with the U.S. Transportation Command to develop options to transport military crews and cargo around the world using the “Dream Chaser” space plane.

The Dream Chaser space plane is a 7-passenger winged shuttle-like plane that launches to space on a rocket and flies back to Earth, landing on a runway. It’s designed to be highly reusable, as it can be launched on various launch vehicles and land on a wide range of runways.

a new spacecraft to transport troops to space...

Aren't they saying quiet part out loud?

[Rio]

At least it is not a Boeing.

[FreedomPoster]

Looks like an expensive way to deliver 7 guys and 10k# of gear to where? again?

[Bullish]

I want one.

Chinese on their own model rushed into production as soon as they got the detailed plans from their Chinese “college students” and “tech employees” spies:

“It is becoming now greatest airplanes we ever stole, I am meaning we ever developed.”

Well l guess it’s not secret anymore.

[frank ballenger]

Looks spiffy.

However, canceled due to bad fuel mileage.

Failed environmental impact and global change regulations tests miserably.

A spaceship based on Doug Henning?

(those born after the 60s wont get the refetence)

Looks like the space shuttle, which was unable to launch in strong winds or any rain.

Yeah, sounds like a great woke military weapon.

Outdated and overpriced before it’s ever in the field of combat.

[Seruzawa]

Great! Now we can interfere virtually anywhere within minutes.... With an entire rifle squad.

[cgbg]

Yup—they need to put one of those electric batteries in them.

Accordingly to flaks here the batteries can perform miracles.

And this is different from the 1950's Dynasty-Soar how?

The spacecraft will begin flying a series of NASA cargo resupply missions to the International Space Station. It is slated to carry out a minimum of seven cargo missions to the ISS.

So, a little crappy shuttle...

[frank ballenger]

Good one. Their next phase.

[al baby]

That thing gave us Steve Austin a man barley alive we can rebuild him make him better stronger .....oh nevermind

[Hatteras]

I thought the ISS was going to be abandoned.

[Wuli]

Makee m think of it as A cross between the Space Shuttle and a shrunken Boeing passenger plane.
