Good find that Syber, I didn't realise that SNC had got that far in development of the Deream CHaser.

I also came across this:

Both interesting articles.

Syber. I like the way they're harking back to the ideas in the X-24A (HL-10 from the 6 million dollar man) and X-38. Make sense to just send crew without payload as payloads are much cheaper to send on a rocket.

DD. But what does it look like? Found this, very Apollo capsule looking.

Neither did I until I came across the article. However there are seems that there are no engines installed as one can see from the second photo within the photo gallery.

Same here

the Dream Chaser will have a payload capacity of 7 people    LOL only joking around with ya, I agree with you 100%

So will Dragon, and that is on a rocket  

Rockets are so cool

The thing about rockets though is that if they're having to lift "delicate cargo" (e.g. squishy humans, or other things that can't withstand higher G forces), they don't work as efficiently as they could otherwise. Granted the drop in efficiency isn't much, but it's there, and it's significant over time.
