I am not sure who all follows these space planes but I figured these types of things that they are actually telling us are important to highlight! After all we don't know 99% of what they end up doing in orbit anyways

Good for them. Science fiction has been writing about aerobraking for a very long time. That they are just now getting around to testing it out, we can find out if it is a reality based idea. I hope it works out for them and the test goes well. After all the space plane is not a manned vehicle, so it is not endangering human life.
