thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The rear of the DC is shown attached to the ISS. For the CRS-2 cargo version is this a docking adapter or a berthing ring ? Will it always attach to ISS via the Shooting Star expendable cargo module ? If so, what mechanisms are at the front and rear of the cargo module ?  Rod57 (talk) 09:13, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  What does cargo version use to dock or berth at ISS 

message: This article needs way more comparisons to the Space Shuttle, as it essentially looks like a 'baby' version of it and performs similar tasks in a near-identical manner. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 01:15, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Space Shuttle 

message: Could we add spec/details of DC01 Tenacity etc eg dimensions, masses, propulsion types ? Will it be within a payload fairing for uncrewed Vulcan Centaur launch ? SNC_Demo-1 says it will fly with the Shooting Star (spacecraft) - Rod57 (talk) 15:05, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Need specification 

message: Where the shuttle is able to land would be relevant ?
"The agreement added the world-class New Mexico spaceport to Sierra Space’s portfolio of potential global landing sites for its Dream Chaser.
Spaceport America, located in southern New Mexico, is the most recent addition to a growing list of compatible runways worldwide where the Dream Chaser could land, including the Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center and airports and landing sites in Huntsville, Alabama, Oita Airport, Japan, and Spaceport Cornwall in the United Kingdom." https://thespacebucket.com/is-dream-chaser-tenacity-on-track-to-launch-in-2023  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dulliman (talk • contribs) 15:34, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Certified landing sites 

message: To avoid unneeded gendered language initial flights of spacecraft, rockets, and airplanes should be referred to as "initial" flights and not "maiden" flights. 161.149.102.22 (talk) 22:09, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Use of "Maiden" for initial flight. 

message: So the Dreamchaser model that is the main image is a decade old, outdated prototype. The picture should be replaced by a picture of the newer Dreamchaser DC-100 design, as seen in this press release.

There are also new designs of DC-201, the crewed variant. Mtol199 (talk) 23:39, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Updating Dreamchaser pictures  

message: We need to clarify the corporate naming used in the article. The lead paragraph correctly notes that the Dream Chaser is now being developed by Sierra Space, but then throughout the article there are references to “SNC”, “SNC Space Systems”, and  Sierra Nevada. This is all because Sierra Space was spun out of Sierra Nevada in April 2021 as an independent company.
It may make more sense to move all the pre-2021 info into the “Program History” section and refocus the main part of the article on the current plans. This would help make the article more readable overall. - Dyork (talk) 11:05, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Corporate ownership needs explanation - or older content moved to History section 

message: I just did some changes and tried to improve the "Spacecraft" section. I wrote a new first paragraph for the section and moved information about spacecraft Dream Chase is derived from to the "History" section. I also moved multiple sections about crew and cargo variants to a new section titled "Variants". 
I hope people like these changes. I thought they made the most sense. I think this article should be structured after the Dragon 1 page, because I think that's a very functional page that is about something very similar to this page. This article has a few issues and hasn't received much attention. We should try to improve it before Dream Chaser's maiden flight.

message: If it is helpful to any editors as a reliable source, USA Today published a longer article in February 2024 about Dream Chaser: Ready for the runway: Dream Chaser spaceplane prepares for first trip to ISS. - Dyork (talk) 18:30, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
