HOTOL - Spaceplane of the future
HOTOL was a 1980s British project to build a totally reusable Space Shuttle. The project was cancelled and as it existed in the pre-internet age it's hard to find information about it.
Whilst I was making my Spaceplanes video I came across a HOTOL brochure from 1985. I thought I would go through it and give an overview of this extremely interesting project.
For an explanation of why I think SSTO spaceplanes are the future of space travel check out my spaceplanes video:
