Year 19, Day 80 (KSEA Announces Construction of DSV-4 Endeavor!)

While actually under construction for quite some time, a name hadn’t been chosen yet! Endeavor will be a “Horizon Class” DSV, that is, almost identical to DSV-3 Horizon!

Endeavor’s name is from the Crew Shuttle Endeavor, which has been out of service for some time now!

I miss flying those Crew Shuttles… when are they going to be cleared for flights again!?”
-Edan

Unfortunately, it may be quite some time for them to get cleared again – the basic design of a spaceplane makes it difficult to create a design with multiple abort options throughout the flight. In fact, there are no launch aborts available right off the launch pad!

The engineers are working on it! No promises though!”
