Benson Space Company released the design of their new 'Dream Chaser' ship for suborbital tourism. Benson Space Co. was recently in the press after they helped an Oracle contest winner get into space without paying taxes. The new Dream Chaser design features many windows, similar to those on the Virgin Galactic Ship. The design is less costly to produce than previous designs by Benson's company. It is also faster to build which means that Benson will be able to start sending passengers into space by their 2009 start date. The Dream Chaser will be capable of carrying passengers to an altitude of 65 miles before descending back to earth.
