With the Space Shuttles retired, this is America’s best hope for putting men in space again. I trust nobody here wants to depend on rides from the Russians or the Chinese.
You couldn’t get me onto a space rocket to space if you paid me.
Doesn’t seem like NASA is in the budget with all the waste and graft and payoffs to unions.
Actually here is the shuttle replacement that was wheeled out of the hanger this week for ground tests. It’s called the ‘Dream Chaser’ and it’s smaller but it will get us in orbit to the space station.
