That is the link that the front page of BBC news has for the article but that's a typo.

It's the 21st century. Where's my spaceplane?

I really hope Skylon succeeds. I've been looking forward to something like it since the X-30 was canned.

Yeah, hope they succeed as well. Also great to see two so different concepts for RLVs coming up (them and SpaceX). That means variety and thus a good gene pool for future developments. I like that.
