@EstorilEm You saw the word "space", stopped reading and immediately started typing that message shoving your foot into your mouth as possible, didn't'cha? lol!
But seriously, if you had indeed watched the entire video (paying attention, as well) and read the entire comment, you'd understand that what they said was very logical and reasonable -- at least insofar as to what you thought makes it a nonstarter. Because no shit that it's an air breathing engine, but having it (or multiple) stored on an orbital platform, waiting for commands to deploy one (or multiple) which would likely have a small booster to get it on its way... it would now have the initial kickstart velocity, as well as gravity, to drive it into that much needed atmosphere, at the equally much needed extreme speeds required for the SCRAM Jet to function. (Something that would undoubtedly be done at high altitude anyhow, given there's less atmospheric drag but still sufficient oxygen.)
