This is an evolution of our larger shuttle using advanced materials. It fits beautifully into all the low Earth orbit projects planned in the near future.
This is not a shuttle it's a plane. Looks similar though. It's designed to bring cargo to the ISS with no crew aboard. Eventually it will adapted for passengers.
@@MegaGeorge1948 How are they marooned? There are several astronauts from other countries on board as well as food modules. They're "marooned" only in the sense that we can't bring them home.
It's thanks to Elon that NASA pushed this invention out. And I'll explain why... look at Elons Tesla, China started making It's own electric vechiles, and Elon was asked how he felt loose in the sales on ele tric cars, his response was, he didn't, bc now other companies around the world are making electric cars, so he lost, basically what he intended would happen. Now he's done the same to NASA with SpaceX. No SpaceX, no NASA space shuttle 😂
@@garymemetoo2238what makes it better if it's from a private contractor? NASA is still paying them for the R&D costs the company incurred and probably even more to cushion their profit margins.
16 sunsets is doing a series right now on the development of the shuttle. The nasa and air force partnership caused a lot of design issues with the shuttle. For example it was way oversized. The large bay was a military requirement for a still classified mission that never happened.
We hope that the Chaser can truly be a workhorse. Quick turnaround, increased safety, economical reusabilty; this can be a leap forward. The space shuttle was designed by and utilized computer technology of the 1970s. With the advances made in materials, engine technology, and "space stuff", it should be a wonderful advancement. A Spanish galleon and a clipper ship look similar and work basically the same, but their capabilities are vastly different.
Good Space X competition for low Earth orbit. Although I cheer Space X’s achievements, being the only game in town is not a good strategy for the exploitation of outer space.
A much smaller plane but a company in NZ is testing and building a reusable drone that can take off and land on any runway and is designed to go up to the low obit, two times a day. Dawn Aero space. I guess over the next decade there will be lots of this sort of initiative.
At 2:42 you mentioned NASA space center in Houston and showed the VAB in FL. For people that don't know confusing. Don't understand how you can make such a video and not get facts right.
I always take a new space vehicle's predictions with a grain of salt. I remember in the late 1970's hearing NASA ads claiming the Space Shuttle would make other rockets obsolete and pay for itself. This didn't happen it and cost the lives of 14 people as well as 2 shuttles destroyed.
Didn’t they try this decades ago and decided it wasn’t cost effective enough and scrapped the whole “shuttle like” design. Like it would be absolutely awesome getting engines strong enough but they don’t get enough thrust to get out of the atmosphere i believe
Shades of the old "Dynaglider" from quite a number of years ago....50 or so.... The Dynaglider has issues due to lack of the electronics we have today, but the concept was sound.
I remember the Dyna Soar X-20 when I was a kid. I was hoping it would be our spacecraft. I believe they chose rockets over the Dyna Soar for cost and speed of development due to the Space Race at the time. It was technically a better path but NASA and the US Government wanted to win the Space Race and not have a superior spacecraft that finished 2nd in the race to the moon.
Didn't this do extended duration classified space missions years ago? How can it be a maiden flight if its been doing secret missions since before the lockdowns? Am I missing something?
Well the description of "Space Plane" is not really correct. At most it could be classed as a "Space Glider".... As it needs a tow to get to space before it glides back down.
All that I see is a downsized space shuttle with less capacity. Does the Dream Chaser have a windshield to see though for the pilot or just tiles in the pilot area? I see both of these in your illustration. Some of your illustrations show the full sized Space Shuttle with the back cargo doors opening while talking about the Dream Chaser (bait and switch?).
What is taking so long in producing this vehicle? I remember reading about this 10 years ago. Plus, it is still way to limited in its usage. Waiting to be impressed.
Not too dissimilar, initially on the eye, than a shuttle. I assume that there is something in the design so scientific that the best shape is X and therefore that is why it is a little bit similar in some areas? Function over form.
Interesting clip, but more froth than beer. It’s obviously a newer and smaller version of the Space Shuttle (which was a stupendous achievement in itself - built nearly 50 years ago!) but how else is it different? Details, please.
OK, it doesn't sound like that much of a game changer. It sounds like more of a compact version of the space shuttle. I don't hear much in the way of capabilities that the space shuttle didn't already have except that it can fit inside a rocket.
I guess if BO makes it to orbit, and possibly lands for reuse, Dreamchaser may be better suited to launch on New Glenn rather than Starship, especially since SpaceX is to make Falcon obsolete.
Great Video ! The the Dream Chaser is what the NASA Space Shuttle should have been ! NASA management killed two Crews of the NASA Space Shuttle program ! The Dream Chaser can help service the new low inclination LEO CSS heading East from the KSC ! This LEO CSS will have a Fuel Depot nearby that can support missions to the moon and beyond ! A LS Fuel Depot is needed near the South Pole Lunar Outpost/Base (Clementine Base) ! This will help bring down costs (USD/U$D) in Cis-Lunar Space ! Timothy Lipinski
I can't help but wonder why is it that China has a space station as well? And why is it that China is so focused on the moon? If we don't actively have a station on the moon, will never get to Mars. IT WILL COST TOO MUCH TO BYPASS THE MOON
220 moronic answers when you said why is America the only one to have a space station or allowed to ? it's because us Americans saved your ass.. in World War 1 and World War II in many other situations as we come in and kick ass like we always do! and you know it. 🤣🤣💪💪
Thanks for sharing such valuable information! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Wish someone had imagination building these things. Why not build a variant able to land on the moon, a dedicated version, no heatsheild, landing legs, and thrusters capable of being used in orbit and as a moon lander.
Well they haven't even watched yet and I already see a problem SpaceX had the same issue with the moving fins allowing plasma to get in and burn things up now the first thing I see on this is folding wings with the same scenario I see coming I hope there's not going to be a pilots😢❤ maybe somebody at nasa will see this and make sure I'm wrong😢
It still needs a rocket. So, not so much improvement over space shuttle. I'd better be watching out for news on the SABRE engine which so far is the only hope to get rid of the rockets to reach orbit.
Dreamchaser has been on the drawing board since the first shuttle test flight in 79/80. It's no better, probably WORSE. The feds have a bad habit of creating the highest price items using the lowest price bidder. I'm just trying to wrap my head around why we need it when we have our own population in near poverty.
Dream Chaser is compact, sleek. risky, and an incredible waste of limited resources. Like the Space Shuttle, it enables the U.S. to waste almost unfathomable sums again and again. The resources spent on manned space travel would be much better spent on saving Earth and improving the human condition here and around the world.
So happy to see a 'space shuttle' type of legacy live on!
YESSS! 🛫🌌👍👍
NASA has always been cutting edge when it comes to animations.
This is an evolution of our larger shuttle using advanced materials. It fits beautifully into all the low Earth orbit projects planned in the near future.
So, an updated Space Shuttle? 30 years overdue.
But Trump is finishing the project; Greenland will be used as a landing strip.
It only carries passengers
This is not a shuttle it's a plane. Looks similar though. It's designed to bring cargo to the ISS with no crew aboard. Eventually it will adapted for passengers.
Clearly they needed your genius to speed up things.
That's because the shuttle was a plane. @@evelynamadio3059
Looking forward to Dream Chaser making its first flight into space, it’s a big step forward. Thanks for the interesting video!
@@garyfilmer382 It's done you are watching it. They will have the same CGI as above as a proof. People will buy it as always. 😂
I love it! Glad to see you back, NASA!!
Now if they can just get those two poor marooned astronauts down from the space station this month er next February 25. 😒
@@MegaGeorge1948 How are they marooned? There are several astronauts from other countries on board as well as food modules. They're "marooned" only in the sense that we can't bring them home.
@@edmer68 "They're "marooned" only in the sense that we can't bring them home."
My point exactly. They are stuck up there until next month maybe?
@ they aren’t too concerned about it because of the things I mentioned.
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK 🇺🇸 🚀
And this is how StarTrek begins
Maybe Stargate comes first? Timeline wise.
Stargate into halo into star trek then finally star wars!
We do have a Khan wannabe taking over the WH soon.
1.5 Gs re-entry and can land on almost any runway 🎉
Competition is good. Hope it lives up to all the hype.
It's a real shame they didn't call it the Farscape 1.
Was thinking the exact same thing.
Yeah it really looks like his ship. Now we just need a living ship
And I was just about to say I was awaiting a news of a wormhole..
Right it looks like that ship.
Ha ha ha brilliant 😅
And, there isn't an Elon in sight 😁 God speed to all and safe landings
It's a good thing

No SpaceX, no NASA space shuttle 😂
It's not been it to space yet so maybe an Elon will be needed to get the thing up there!
The program is almost as old as SpaceX; if there was an Elon involved, it might've sped things up.
@@dziurawiec31Yeah. Sure. Recall the explosion poisoning the area around it in Texas? Muskler says manned mission to Mars in '29. Bets?
I really want to see this thing fly. I wouldn't mind seeing a fleet of them.
This shuttle should serve as a Lifepod attached to the mothership .
I hope they attach the heat tiles with better glue.
Go NASA!
Cost? Has never been a worry. Great too see 21st century innovation, moving forward.
how different is it to the Shuttle that used to service the ISS? and what powers the Chaser?
It appears to be a lot smaller. A saving grace is that it is from a private contractor.

The VAB shown at the beginning, is at KSC, not Johnson SFC
This is amazing I wish you all good luck and gods speed 🙏

A much smaller plane but a company in NZ is testing and building a reusable drone that can take off and land on any runway and is designed to go up to the low obit, two times a day.
Dawn Aero space.
I guess over the next decade there will be lots of this sort of initiative.
Wasn't this like cryton's ship in farscape?
Aren't they supposed to decommissioned ISS?
Interesting content but the background ' Muzak ' is extremely distracting,

Tell 'em they're dreamin' ...
This feels a bit too much like a long advertisement, but it is intriguing and I hope it succeeds.
Finally, we have an updated version of the Boeing X-20 Dyna-Soar ("Dynamic Soarer") space vehicle revived and rebranded as The Dream Chaser.
How is this different from the x37B that has been in service for years with military?
The ISS is about to fall apart, what do you mean needed to restock? You mean to rebuild?
More like crashed into the planet, than 'fall apart'! It still makes my heart sad
This had me confused. I just recently read that space x was given the contract to bring it out of orbit.
Excellent video ✌️

Looks just like the lifting bodies from the 1950's 😎
The front landing gear doesn’t look like a wheel. Looks like a skid and non-steering is that correct?

Designed by Lockheed and Rockwell 50 years ago.
Well the description of "Space Plane" is not really correct. At most it could be classed as a "Space Glider".... As it needs a tow to get to space before it glides back down.
Looks cool. They should call it...... space shuttle?
i call it a puddle jumper
Except it's a plane, not a shuttle.
It seems to launch like a satellite - inside a regular rocket
Fireball XL5. Once a cartoon, now a reality. The robot is also on the verge of reality.

So, Space Shuttle Mini is coming!
What took so long?
No front wheel?
I wonder about that too.
Useless. Best is no part. Just change the pad on that and you’re good.
Damage to expensive and extremely long run ways?
finally, Dyna-Soar might make it to space.

So it's like mini spacy shuttle😊
Doesn't space x catch it's own rockets. Not to be mean but space x has grown so fast and in 30 years this is what nasa comes up with.
When?
First flight planned to be in May 2025.
The rosenante doesn't need a rocket to go to space...NASA should up their game
I think the more, the better. That way, there will never be another stranded astronaut again.
Manned or not?
I guess if BO makes it to orbit, and possibly lands for reuse, Dreamchaser may be better suited to launch on New Glenn rather than Starship, especially since SpaceX is to make Falcon obsolete.
Seems more like add copy than a technical update.

Get it to take off, achieve orbit, and land like a plane. Then you really have something.
What Rocket will be delivering it to low earth orbit?
What will it do when ISS eventually meets the surface of the Indian or Pacific oceans?
You have to break the sound barrier, land in San Bernardino county,San Bernardino,vCA airport ,I LIVE IN YUCAIPA CA,
Space title mini me? Hopefully it will be much more cost efficient.
No front wheel.
I wonder about that as well.
@ Either there is a front wheel and it’s broken or they don’t have a front wheel and it’ll be a whole lot of expensive maintenance to fix every time.
Oh, I thought the vid was going to be about Steve Austin's crash - from Six Million Dollar Man (photo cover of the craft he crashed in )
This has been done by the US govt for nearly a decade. It's also a a spin-off of the shuttle.
Isn't the issue being decommissioned soon?
