    Shame the Stratolauncher does not have an honest to god orbital rocket available to carry.

    A Stratolauncher could carry the equivalent mass of two Titan II rockets! In theory Stratolauncher could launch a rocket that could put 8 MT or more into LEO. Or the equivalent mass into orbit of a manned Soyuz spacecraft.
