Thanks for another cool video! I really enjoyed your Kerbal simulation. The video is cool, but I'm not very excited by Stratolaunch System's new plan. If it really is a choice between this and mothballing the Roc then I guess this is better, but are there any peaceful uses for hypersonic technology? Frankly, the last thing we need to build (as a species) is hypersonic weapons. The combination of hypersonic weapons and AI suggests a new kind of incredibly dangerous high speed warfare that would largely be out of human control - and thus a lot more likely to happen. But then again, in the absence of some kind of treaty or agreement banning hypersonic weapons, every country with a significant military is is going to explore this technology, and the US will probably build their own test vehicles if they haven't started doing so already. Renting space from Stratolaunch Systems might be a cheaper and faster way to do that research. But I wish we could just collectively leave this particular branch of the technology tree unexplored.

The US military? That's not surprising.
