Sierra Space's Dream Chaser, the Boeing of spaceplanes if Boeing actually made a cute plane, just lost its NASA life line. NASA, apparently tired of matchmaking, pulled their guaranteed contract for cargo runs to the ISS, leaving Dream Chaser in a cosmic identity crisis. No more promised rides to space, meaning Sierra could be stuck on Earthâwhere all âspace pioneersâ end up Googling live streams of Soyuz launches. The contract tweak means no arranged dates with NASA, turning the Dream Chaser from official space cadet to spaceplane Tinder profile with zero matches.
