"In the future, Skylon could be used in place of NASA's Space Shuttle to transport astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station."

That quote is funny considering that the Shuttles are about to be decommisioned anyways and Russia/EU will do all the heavy lifting until this and other commercialized transport vehicles are finalized. Though, I am pretty sure there are at least two other US companies that will have a transport vehicle sooner than 2020.

Not just 2 american

but Virgin (UK company) plans to have one out by 2015
