REGISTER AS A DEMOCRAT. "I'm a negative, hateful person. What should I do about it?"
NEWT GINGRICH: Obama should take care of the Little Sisters of the Poor. He won't, but perhaps the Supreme Court will.
DREAM CHASER flies through another CCiCAP milestone.
Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) successfully completed another key milestone for their Commercial Crew Integrated Capability (CCiCap) contract with NASA this week. Known as Milestone 7, the Certification Plan Review for the entire Dream Chaser Space System (DCSS) covered the vehicle’s full design certification and outlined how SNC would operate its first crewed flight to the International Space Station (ISS).

TECHNOLOGY: the seamless wing.



Flexible wings have long been a 'holy grail' of aerodynamics. It looks like we may be getting there.
