Air Launch

I had lunch with Mitchell Burnside Clapp a few months ago, when he told me about this program. This doesn’t seem true, though:

Today there’s one way to get a satellite into space: launch it from the ground on a booster rocket, which is expensive and can take weeks or months between missions to prepare the launch pad.

What’s Pegasus, chopped liver? Not that we couldn’t stand to get the cost way, down, of course.
