Is it feasible for them to build an orbital version?
I want the concept of launching from altitude to work because it seems like the heavy atmosphere part has different requirements and so having another vehicle to help with that seems intuitive.
I also wonder if you could make orbital flight with this type of system more achievable if the delivery aircraft and/or the rocket had scramjet ability so that it was more efficient.
