Aero-News Quote of the Day

"Today is the first time we have flown a fully functional Dream Chaser flight vehicle, and we are very pleased with the results. Our team represents the very best in collaboration between industry and government. We have worked closely with NASA, Dryden and the Air Force to reach this important milestone in our flight test program. We look forward to seeing Dream Chaser land on the same runway as the space shuttle orbiters once did as we move forward in the development of the next-generation crew transportation vehicle."
