Note that Sierra is the craft builder for NASA who is the formal operator. Any decision to switch to another launch provider is in NASA’s hands, not Sierra.
That does not mean they have to follow NASA’s “orders”. They can pay SpaceX for a ride like any other satellite company. NASA could look bad if everything went well.
If NASA does not like something and you want to work with them in the future you will do what NASA wants. If not you get blackballed and the government can do nasty things.
That's not the issue. NASA don't give two shits if SpaceX takes it up and they just glide back to earth. They are supposed to dock at the ISS. That's the issue
Funny ULA is whiny about not getting revenue from the certification mission. Elon just crashes the first few, learns from it and eats the cost. Result? Incredibly reliable launch systems.
Another name for the government space agencies? -----'DELAY'----"We guarantee to delay as much as possible." (As long as our shareholders make a profit each year.")
Don't forget that Sierra Space is also tied in with Blue Origin for the Orbital Reef space station, this was done by NASA so that all these companies "play ball" with each other.
I think that Sierra Space should have SpaceX launch one of there aircrafts only because they are the safes and I think they could launch at the drop of a hat.
NASA is the operator. Sierra built Dream Chaser for NASA and any decisions about how its to be launched is in NASA’s hands. I’m sure that within Sierra, there are engineers thinking about how using SpaceX would work.
The space Shuttle was a complex, dangerous, and extremely expensive platform. Dream Chaser brings Shuttle technology to a safe, economical place. LAUNCH It!!!
And we will be stuck with legacy systems for decades, just as we are stuck with that weird offset docking module that's on the ISS. It was designed that way to accommodate one specific configuration of the shuttle, which flew that way exactly once, then was retired. Now all the new ships are stuck using a docking port with a dumb bend in it. Sierra will be fitted with an ISS docking ring, and when the ISS is scrapped, we will be stuck with that docking ring for every new station going forward even if something much better is available. Care to see a real-world example? Many years ago, there was a spreadsheet program named VisiCalc. Since every spreadsheet program has spent decades sprucing it up, renaming it, and selling the same original code, all of the VisiCalc command codes and function buttons work the same way in the latest and greatest version of Excel.
NASA needs to understand how to use the Dragon versus Dreamchaser. They each have different designs and, as such, different capabilities. I believe the Dreamchaser should be used for all ISS personal transferes back and forth to Earth. Use Dragon as a more capable platfore for longer duration missions and advanced cargo delivery
@@techmap9 think sierra space having see so much issues with ula not even going to mention lawsuit with Spacex not getting into that. But sierra space did say in one of their space station videos they said they were going to build their own station anyway so I figured I would have them go on their own earlier more previous advice I suggest they build their own reliable reusable rocket
It seems like Sierra Space is being hamstrung by ULA. It might make more sense to use Falcon Heavy instead. I wonder if they are in negotiations with SpaceX. I would be.
To Launch Dream Chaser is costly over Dragon Heavy. Even if ULA can recover the main rocket and reuse, the faring and boosters are a $lose$. The idea is good for passengers to what ever station or work in space is needed but needs to be on recoverable and reusable rockets. We have more than enough junk in space today and these systems like Stare Link must be stopped.
If Starship starts working, all other rockets will become redundant, because no rocket can compete with launch prices. Unfortunately, Dream Chaser will be dragged along in this situation. And all this because of Ula and Boeing, who are there alone. the cause of his. NASA just doesn't want to lose face with the wrong choices. If a disaster happens to the crew and capsule that is now hanging on the ISS, then NASA has a big problem. It is said why not send a crew dragon to the ISS. I think that the suits of the two astronauts will not match the connections of crew dragon, so extra suits would have to be brought along, but those suits are custom made, so ??? big problem
Dream Chaser is needed. Launch it on a different booster rocket. This little space plane has too much potential to waste. NASA likes to support expensive lemons🍋 like Starliner
Very tacky stating in the link to a "cancellation" when it was an actual "postponement". I'm not subscribing due to this "misrepresentation"....Tch! Tch!
What an overly dramatic and inaccurate title! It has not been CANCELED! The correct word is POSTPONED! Why didn’t you use that word? This sort of thing DOESN’T encourage me to watch your channel. A pity because apart from the silly title the content was good 👍
NASA never needed a shuttle. What they needed was a heavy-lift vehicle and a small re-usable crew vehicle. Consider you own life. You needed a semi-truck to deliver the materials to the construction site, but do you drive the semi to work every day when building the building or do you only use the semi for the few times you need a huge delivery and use your car the rest of the time?
Sierra Space should dump ULA and work with SpaceX, too many unknowns with ULA that’s part of Boeing.
That is what we except but NASA doesn’t
Note that Sierra is the craft builder for NASA who is the formal operator. Any decision to switch to another launch provider is in NASA’s hands, not Sierra.
Don't understand the thought process of these companies....SpaceX is proven and cheaper....put that space plane on a Falcon Heavy.....done deal
NASA doesn’t want this

@@walterlyzohub8112NASA is the operator so NASA calls the shots. Sierra Space is the builder.
I don't get it, NASA is messing around with various 'money-pits' while SpaceX is ready to fly, with a better product for less money.
Politic is a big elephant
@@techmap9 You mean PORK BARREL !
@@khankrum1 Aren't they often the same thing?
Funny ULA is whiny about not getting revenue from the certification mission. Elon just crashes the first few, learns from it and eats the cost. Result? Incredibly reliable launch systems.
Maybe ULA needs to take a page out of Elon's playbook and start breaking a few things too!
Yes but ULA is to far behind,they should ask space X for the ride till their rocket is proven. Pride comes before a fall.
U know ULA is SpaceX’archrival. Maybe they will wait Dream
It's not canceled. Just delayed.
SPACEX Will launch on Falcon Heavy, DIDN'T TRUST
SUE ORIGIN Vulcan BE4 engines 😮
Another name for the government space agencies? -----'DELAY'----"We guarantee to delay as much as possible." (As long as our shareholders make a profit each year.")
Blue Origin is good at expensive amusement park rides.
An overpriced amusement park with a single ride you mean 😂
they are not even good at that.
Was hoping Dreamchaser would be a good alternative for the US. As a big SpaceX fan, we still needed another alternative space craft
Don't forget that Sierra Space is also tied in with Blue Origin for the Orbital Reef space station, this was done by NASA so that all these companies "play ball" with each other.
It's like a cosmic game of "play ball" with the weak players in the space business!
Yea. Hoping Boing stays away and better get extra correct sized o rings .no thrusters.

The Vulcan rocket might be the next lemon 🍋
By the time they are ready, space station will be scrapped.

The military can afford to launch expensive top secret missions. Let them pay reliable carriers like SpaceX heavy falcon.
Clickbait !!!!!
DreamChaser wasn’t canceled by NASA.
Due to testing timing, they missed their ride.
Sounds like the dream is a wet one
click bait, Dream Chaser has not been canceled

Why do we need a sports car in space?
I'm so happy for that new progress In VAB let's go to the space !
Why the rush. Theres plenty of space up there and its a industery that is growing remember the Edsell
O. This is 3 days ago.
I think SpaceX should buy Dream Chaser. It would provide a broad offering to customers.
Yes! SpaceX can make this better than Shuttle
It's kind of old fashioned looking. A bit crude.
uLA should not rely on Blue Origin.
Drop ula sierra space, go with SpaceX or build your own rocket
Yes. ULA was even sold for Bezos
@@techmap9 think sierra space having see so much issues with ula not even going to mention lawsuit with Spacex not getting into that.

In fact both are needed. Scrap the Starliner.

Maybe Sierra Space just needs a little "Falcon Heavy" lift to soar past ULA!

Yes! Starship is shaking up the rocket world like a SpaceX tornado!
are they ever going to launch this thing
Is Jeffo's launch based upon winning one of his many MANY LAWSUITS.?.
Jeffo's debut is a story more complicated than a soap opera! Lawsuits, drama, and maybe a sprinkle of glitter.
So was this the X-37B ???? "the secret space shuttle prototype"
All technological development world-wide needs to stop until we go back to prioritizing safety over pronouns.
This is necessary!
They would be better off if they let LEGO design their space ships.
Leadership is poor at best.
Why is it so small. Most fighter jest are bigger than this thing
Dream Chaser is needed. Launch it on a different booster rocket.
This little space plane has too much potential to waste. NASA likes to support expensive lemons🍋 like Starliner
Why so much problem?
space is hard
Dreamchaser should ask SpaceX to launch?
@@BRAHHHHHH Easy, ApaceX can cut through the problems ewith one easy step.
A whopping great mistake!
That's because they don't spend their money
💔

Cancelling this site. Not canceled. Hate cockbait.
Dream Chaser is too long in the tooth..
Time flies when you're chasing dreams, right?
@@techmap9 I think I overslept😬

I appreciate your feedback on the title, I'll consider using more accurate wording in the future.
NASA needs a new Space shuttle NOT plane !!!!!!! The space plane to small but keep in the back room for Emergencies !!!!
Maybe NASA should team up with Elon Musk and create a spaceship-car hybrid!

Yes, using Space'X'
We need to cut our losses" us taxpayers!
How many cut losses do you need to go bankrupt? The USA is beginning to look more like the decline of the British Empire!
It is all politics and total bull shit total waist of money
