NASA's New Space Plane is somehow BETTER than Boeing Starliner!
The end of the space shuttle project marked NASA's abandonment of a spaceplane design that had faced criticism about its safety.
Turning to the commercial crew program, the agency had high hopes for Boeing's Star liner, which, with its traditional capsule design, could be the safest way to fly astronauts.
However, the truth hurts. The Star Liner ended up being just as dangerous a vehicle as NASA's old spacecraft.
Therefore, the rise of a Louisville-based company has taken the spotlight. They use their advanced lifting-body spacecraft design to show that the Space Shuttle design was not a big deal, but rather, it was NASA's ability to manage risk.

Or even the new spaceplane is deemed to be much better than Space Shuttle and of course, Star liner.

(The future spaceplane)
Within the context of that Boeing Star liner is in the hot seat for its incompetence and Nasa is planning to conduct more crew flights on it, the space community is turning their eyes to another alternative: Sierra Space's Dream Chaser.
Dream Chaser is a lifting body design spaceplane that measures 30 feet long by 15 feet wide. The 15-foot Shooting Star module can carry up to 7,000 pounds of cargo internally and features three unpressurized external payload mounts.

In the crewed version, the Dream Chaser spaceplane is designed to carry from three to seven people and cargo to orbital destinations. Similarly, Boeing's Star liner Calypso has a crew capacity of up to 7 or 4 crews and 100 kilograms of payload.
The partially reusable transportation system will perform at least seven cargo missions to the space station as part of Nasa’s efforts to expand commercial resupply services in low Earth orbit. Future missions may last as long as 75 days and deliver as much as 11,500 pounds of cargo.
While the Dream Chaser spacecraft is reusable and can return up to 3,500 pounds of cargo to Earth, the Shooting Star module is designed to be jettisoned and burn up during reentry, creating the opportunity to dispose of up to 8,500 pounds of trash with each mission.
Dream Chaser Tenacity is the first in a planned fleet of Sierra Space spaceplanes to help carry out these missions.
