Skylon is Go

I've been following the development of this British answer to the Space Shuttle for some time and if it looks anything in real life like this artist's concept, then we're in for a treat.

During it's rollout, however, the Thunderbirds March must be mandatory.



Though, I will settle for this.

I think the best feature of this project is the name. There's something quintessentially British about a spaceship called "Skylon."

Okay, I give up. What's the second theme from?

And, yeah. That's basically just a smaller, shinier Fireflash. With less nuclear reactor.

Vericode: eelectra. Hah!

It's the 'Zero-X' theme from the "Thunderbirds Are Go" feature DVD.

(I found this extended Thunderbirds episode to be disappointing, with a tacked on dream sequence detracting from the rest of the film.)

(Yes, have the DVD.)
