Hello All
Thought I'd post this information as I was unaware of all the various types NASA have been funding and are trialling....

Have a look through and see what you think..........
www.bbc.co.uk...
The ideas are
CST-100, Boeing - Dragon, SpaceX - Dream Chaser, Sierra Nevada Corp -
MPCV, Nasa/LockheedMartin - Space vehicle, Blue Origin
Each on has a 'tab' and further information from the intial landing page.........
Cheers
