Stratolaunch

Huh, never thought they would actually build it.

it's been built and in a hangar for a couple years now. They're just double-double checking everything.

Oh shit, that's pretty sweet. How much can it theoretically take up?

the cockpit i mean

Because you’re already welding two entire 747’s together, might as well use it. iirc the cockpit on the left is the actual pilot one, the one on the left is emptY.

Think- how would the airplane take off when the rocket is strapped under it? It needs to be under a wing.

>she's a big boi

How does the rocket launch work? Does the rocket engine fire up while still being carried? Wouldn’t the forces be too strong on the plane?
And if not, then isn’t it dangerous to fire up the engines in free fall? Seems like a very difficult thing to do
