Really excited about this. Maybe good old Europe can have a SpaceX moment in the future.

If we don't up the game, European Space agency will be utterly incapable of competing with SpaceX. Perhaps this is what people are starting to grasp which is why Sabre is getting more funding now.

Really excited about this.

As a kid in the 80’s I had a HOTOL poster on my wall. Hope I get to see one fly one day!

I the same! Was it a pull-out from a magazine, or something, do you recall? I had it alongside a fold-out cross-section of 'the Chunnel' on my bedroom wall :.)

Exciting times. I'm particulary happy that they appear to be not just focusing on the space angle, rather global travel too, which seems a much more likely use, at least in the short term.

I vaguely remember BAe giving out loads of stuff like that at my school. All the kids had stickers of Skyflash and other missiles on lunchboxes!
