- The program would eventually develop a total of three test prototype flight demonstrators for the proposed Crew Return Vehicle, each having incremental improvements on its predecessor.

Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The NASA X-38 article was read about 28,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 63 and blocks with 47: each hit it takes is cut by 19 %.
