Is the Dream Chaser space plane ever going to launch into orbit?

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-28 04:56:58

When will Sierra Space's winged vehicle, Dream Chaser, finally take flight? Unfortunately, it's still not clear. Almost certainly, however, it won't be this year. The Dream Chaser space plane has now been under development for more than two decades, and it has a huge cult following because its winged shape mimics the iconic Space Shuttle. However, during a recent news briefing, a senior NASA official would only say this about a launch date: "We will be ready for them when they're ready to fly."

When users had at most a few cores on a single CPU, it made complete sense that every program was written with the assumption that it would only run on a single core. Even in a high-performance computing (HPC) context, the default mode of parallelism was (for a long time) the Message Passing Interface (MPI), which is a
