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.

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:

Looks spiffy.
However, canceled due to bad fuel mileage.
Failed environmental impact and global change regulations tests miserably.

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Outdated and overpriced before it’s ever in the field of combat.

Yup—they need to put one of those electric batteries in them.
Accordingly to flaks here the batteries can perform miracles.

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...
