New NASA Craft

Most of the squad members are fans of flight in general way;  and if you grew up wanting to fly then you no doubt spent some time imagining what it would be like to complete flight's most challenging achievement -- landing the Space Shuttle.  

This is probably a great subject to talk to TA about, he is probably the most knowledgeable about the subject for various reasons.

At this point I am just happy to see the shuttle program at any stage.  This video is the concept and some of the testing for the newest shuttle design.

Description: Eren Ozmen, President of Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC), is pleased to announce that the company's Dream Chaser Space System has been awarded $212.5 million as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Integrated Capability (CCiCap) Program. The 21 month contract will begin in August of 2012.

You should really take the time to watch this in HD even if you half to let it load for a while, or borrow a computer, so worth it.
