So what's the next major launch? (NASA, ESA whatever)

I'd love for this to come into fruition, hopefully reasonably soon, both for the space side of things and the potential for another Concordesque aircraft.
Doubt it, they don't have anywhere near the funding they need to start the project 'for real', there's no sign of them being able to get such funding any time in the near future and even if they did it would be at least 12-15 years of R&D before they had anything at all to show for it.
Unfortunately i don't think we'll ever see anything real come from Reaction Engines, but i have to commend the people who founded them for carrying on their dream when they got shafted by the government when it was under the name 'HOTOL'. If they hadn't been then we may well have been seeing launches by now.
