A drawn SABRE; Skylon's time has come

摘要

Sir: I have just spent a happy (mainly) hour reading the latest issue of Spaceflight (Vol 55 No 9 which landed on my doormat. And once again, with no flattery intended, I was impressed by the wealth of information contained within; it really is 'required reading' for anyone who wants to keep up to date with the latest developments in astronautics. There are many interesting and hopeful developments taking place, as we see from articles like 'Britain in Space' (p. 324) and 'Burn like Thunder!' (p. 338).
