RE: Flying An Aeroplane Into Space May Be Possible In The Future, But Not Now - Let's Find Out Why

I have never heard about Skylon. If I got it right, it is a kind of hybrid space-shuttle/airplane thingie. I am really looking forward to see this working (it could also be more economical to use it to go to space than the current way, couldn't it?).

    Exactly, Skylon is a hybrid of both airplane and space shuttle. But as against space shuttles that come with attached boosters (rocket packs), Skylon has an in-built booster; making it a single-staged reusable space vehicle.
    Thanks for coming around sir
