Is this gonna make me able to pay my ticket into space in 15 years? I hope yes!

 

What do you think?

Read about this last weekend, what it reminds me most of is the HOTOL project from the 80s http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HOTOL hopefully it will get further than they did.

Wouldn't surprise me if the guys behind SABRE and SKYLON actually continued the work done by HOTOL 😉 Started freshly and learned from its findings.
