Skylon: The key to the Space Age?

Post by robske »

Hey all,  More: [url]http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/across-the-universe/2013/jul/17/sabre-rocket-engine-reaction-skylon[/url] 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 [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HOTOL[/url] 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.
