Episode 434: Skylon with SABRE - Single Stage to Orbit

We interview Reaction Engines LTD Mark Hempsell about the SABRE (Synergetic Air-Breathing Rocket Engine). This is a breakthrough rocket engine in aerospace technology that can operate in both air-breathing and rocket modes. Join us as we talk about the SABRE rocket engine, the Skylon Spaceplane (runway to orbit) and LAPCAT (Mach 5 cruise Brussels to Sydney in 4.6 hours). Plan on spending some time looking over the Reaction Engines web site for an extensive download list of images, video's and technical documents. http://www.reactionengines.co.uk/index.html https://twitter.com/ReactionEngines Host this week: Gene Mikulka, Panel Member: Mark Ratterman Show Recorded 10/17/2012
