NASA's SUV: The Dream Chaser Gets A Second Chance

The Dream Chaser is the only Spacecraft NASA funds that is capable of maneuvering within the atmosphere. The entire Spacecraft is based on a NASA concept from the 1990s that was designed to assist the Space Shuttle.

It's a state-of-the-art spaceplane with a carbon-fiber body and advanced avionics capable of doing things other spacecraft cannot. It's a weird sort of spacecraft because it has proper wings— something we rarely see on Spacecrafts. It's the first, and at the time of making this video, only non-capsule private orbital spaceship ever made. And we suspect it'll be so for some time yet.
