>Skylon is vaporware

Building the Skylon isn't the problem, its ensuring the Sabre Engines are working properly.

>They have nothing to prove their product works despite years of research.

The European Space Agency is partially funding the building of the engines. The US Airforce has determined that building the engines is feasible.

As of last October, the project got additional funding from BAE systems.

If this was a Kickstarter pitch, then it's likely to be a successful one since REL is getting funding and support from major government and private firms.
