Skylon - air breathing space ship

That Skylon thingy looks promising.
It lessens the fuel the ship has to carry with it while still in atmosphere, very elegant.
We might see more of it in the future.

Could they have picked a worse name? It's name sounds to me like a portmanteau of Skynet and Cylon. It's like they're begging this thing to kill us all.

Took the words right out of my mouth there! :clap:
If they get this thing to work, great! Until then i'll remain sceptical.
I hope they remember to leave some spare fuel for their way back. :D
Also: Looks way cooler than those Space Shuttles, those were sooo 80's... :mrgreen:
 
Well, Skylon is still better than the japanese manufacturer of exeskeletons, Cyberdyne. And what do they call their exoskeletons?
HAL.
 
And subliminally shaped the ideal modern American woman. (Mattel* a subdivision of Cyberdyne )

*And Disney ofc
