Sierra Nevada Corporation's Dream Chaser - a reusable lifting-body spaceplane, currently slated to fly to the ISS on top of the Vulcan rocket in December 2023

I had never heard of the Sierra Nevada Corp. and was confused when I thought about the beer company working on a rocket :)

Stranger things have happened though I suppose.

In other beer space connections, Ball Aerospace and Ball containers who makes many beer cans were once the same company. Also made Ball canning jars.

What great idea didn't start as a sketch on a bar napkin?
