SNC Dreamchaser Spaceplane Gets Airborne... Sort of

Every flight test program has to start somewhere.  This was apparently an unmanned captive carry flight test of aerodynamic characteristics before the eventual first free flight.  Will that flight be manned, a la SpaceShipOne, or unmanned, as was the Dragon?  Time will tell.
