 This is not a vanity project. It seeks to prove what seems like a very basic premise: that if you launch a rocket into orbit from 35,000 feet instead of from the ground it’s a lot more efficient. It doesn’t require the enormous thrust needed to initially defy gravity and leave a launch pad and so the conventional first stage of a rocket is eliminated. An L-1011 has been doing just that since 1994: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X19hVRd3w-M&t=60s *
