It's not a standalone expansion - Elite Dangerous Horizons is the full game and a season of expansions.

Here's my answer for you, but I'm not Michael Brookes ...
Have you Beta Tested previous updates such as Powerplay or Wings? Or had access to test them, even if you didn't actually do it?
The answer to this is the answer to your question.
Galaxy is same (game) .. 99.9999999% sure of it ..
xbox uses same background universe. So though players can't interact, universe does.
...
It's an expansion, you'll log into the same game and use the same account as you are now.
Im gona hazard a guess that they simply need a bigger art pallet for creating ELW's. Probably figuring out how much damage/heat build up you get when entering an atmosphere too, and flight in gas giants is gona take all kinds of tweeks to get that realism/game play balance right.
Tis just the start sir, and its awesum news to me

You want more depth, but turn down planetary landings and ground gameplay?
You realise how ridiculous that sounds right?
Ah okay! 
Duh... I should have thought about that myself. I guess it's the adrenaline because of the hype.

I'll repeat...
Been waiting for this!!

This is great news

I think you're going to have an interesting time testing these things
FD's way of saying that they can't release a full expansion right out of the gate so they're selling you an incompletely and lacking version for full price and asking you to trust them with releasing rest of the content down the line.
So essentially it's an early access model for an expansion.
Considering how well that went with the base game...
Maybe, and then the Beta option is for those without Beta currently.
However, it would be good to have this officially confirmed.
Very much agree with this.
If Frontier aren't careful I feel Elite will end up with no substance or depth to the core game.
My reaction to this is a resounding "meh".
I'll reserve judgement until I see some details about how new features will work and what gameplay will be like (hopefully there will be some actual gameplay, rather than just new engine tech), but from past experience I'll be keeping my expectations low. After all, Powerplay sounded like a great feature before we got a proper look at it...

Well, it is not, really. Ground gameplay has nothing, and I mean nothing, to do with Elite. Yeah I know, it probably be funny, but still, has nothing to do. Planetary Landings are another story, and I like them , just because it will be like FE2 landing on Sirocco Station or New London... But all the time spent in physics calculations for ground movement of vehicles, well, can't say I'm happy, if I've to be honest. I'd rather prefer to have passenger cabins on my ship, but it's only an opinion.
Im so excited. 2015 is a great year. I have Horizons, Fallout 4 and Battlefront to look forward to.
Just out of interest, what is so good about a cobra Mk IV?
