Dream Chaser tests delayed due to Shutdown

Of all the things that have been impacted as a result of the government shutdown, one silver lining has been that, while NASA is almost completely stalled, there are still several companies working in the private sector to open access to low-Earth orbit (LEO) for future manned flights. However, none of them are active in space flight yet beyond the SpaceX Dragon capsule and without NASA's help, many of them cannot do anything but wait to continue development. This is especially true of Sierra Nevada's Dream Chaser space plane. A plan to do a full free-flight test of the Dream Chaser on October 5th at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base in California had to be put on hold since the NASA facility has been closed. Sierra Nevada went to Dryden because it is the proper place for such testing, but now it has come back to haunt them. Luckily the company sees this as a simple delay and they will be back at it once the shutdown is over, and will continue to work on future plans for the Dream Chaser. Clearly it is not just NASA projects that suffer while our government is out of commission. For the sake of NASA and all future spaceflight, let Congress know now why we need to save NASA by ending this shutdown as soon as possible. http://www.penny4nasa.org/take-action Read more about the delay of Dream Chaser here: http://www.space.com/23196-private-space-plane-delay-government-shutdown.html
