Dream Chaser versus CEV
SpaceDev has announced plans to build the Dream Chaser, a 6-person orbital vehicle based upon the HL-20 design. The Dream Chaser will use the rubber-burning engines that SpaceDev developed for Scaled Composites' SpaceShipOne, will be doing manned suborbital flight tests in 2008, and will have manned test flights to orbit in 2010. Compare this with NASA's four-person CEV, which will be doing its first orbital flights in 2014.
