RE: 'Dream Chaser' is the latest hope for American spaceflight
In addition to DreamChaser, SpaceX has its Dragon capsule which, in addition to carrying cargo, could also be used to carry astronauts to ISS. The first Dragon was already launched aboard a SpaceX Dragon 9, successfully orbitted the globe, and successfully re-entered for splashdown and recovery.
I very much hope the DreamChaser sees the top of an Atlas 5, and that SpaceDev gets its chance to fly astronaughts to ISS. Competition would be good for the industry.
And as a reply to PSFTGURU, the HL-20 was designed to fly atop of the Saturn-V. The Dream Chaser by SpaceDev has always been seen as flying on top pf the Atlas 5.
