I vaguely know some of the people involved in RE/skylon, they've just announced another of several ongoing developments (proper science, not marketing or concepts) so I wouldn't write it off.
Also, I assume you're simplifying the facts around buran for brevity, as there's a lot of dispute about the number built, what flew, how much design was properly stolen rather than just similarly designed.
Given the first 5s, I should point you at BROHP, both for past journals and to keep an eye on for next year's programme.
