How exciting! Never expected this to come out of the vapourware stage, the technology sounded just too improbable. Sure would be nice to have an ambitious EU counterpart to SpaceX.

The Science Museum's book about Concorde contains a breathtaking interview with an engineer who is very keen that technological innovations are not shared with the industries of other countries. Very myopic.
