Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

The Halo Sabre was a multi-stage to orbit vehicle, they are designing an engine to support "one stage to orbit".

Though if you ask me (no one did, I know) "Skylon" sounds a little too close to Cylon for comfort.

**Devil's advocate of the Flood. My posts may or may not represent my personal opinion, I just enjoy disagreeing with people. None of my posts are representative of the official view of the Navy or any government agency.

I was mostly talking about the engine's name alongside the purpose of orbital flight :)

Reminds me of that passenger jet that could go to low orbit back in, I believe, the Reagan era. I can't think of the name at the moment. This ringing a bell with anyone?

Skynet + Cylon = Skylon. We're all doomed.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.
