I missed that. I’m surprised they were picked since they don’t have any flight-proven hardware.

I would have liked to have seen PlanetSpace (based in Chicago) get picked during the CRS competition to use their Silver Dart re-usable rocketplane that was based on the FDL-7.




PlanetSpace did protest NASA's CRS selection.

They didn't have any flight-proven hardware, but they did build a mock up of their vehicle.

Paging Colonel Steve Austin. Paging Colonel Steve Austin. Your ride is now on the tarmac, with fuel topped up, awaiting launch clearance from USSTRATCOM.
