Nothing against Starliner, but to me the launch of Dream Chaser is much more exciting. 🤩

NASA should've picked the Dream Chaser over Starliner for Commercial Crew! Cannot wait for it to enter service! Godspeed!

After what feels like a lifetime, it seems like we'll finally get to see this most beautifully sleek craft in action! Congrats to everyone involved!

Comments are vanishing here too. YouTube is becoming an impossible medium where it's absolutely useless to leave a constructive comment. Even the owner of the channel isn't advised that comments have been deleted without reason or purpose. I'm here to cheer Sierra Space on, but YouTube won't permit well wishers.
