@L3gionMusic Hopefully yes; though I suspect others will end up commercialising the technology :(

While concorde was a great aircraft its development lost us our space industry. "There is no future in satellites" another government pronouncement.

@richardhockey8442 Maybe, however Richard Branson did offer to buy and operate BA's fleet.

@richardvernon317 Concorde had nothing to do with the military. It used engines developed for a military plane yes, but there were no non-military derived engines available for an SST at the time (or now to be frank). As a country however, we would have been financially better off if we had developed a commercial space launch system though.
