    The real problem is that Stratolaunh was designed with a much larger SpaceX rocket in mind that got cancelled. So the 3x Pegasus is a fallback plan.

    Considering how rarely Pegasus launches (43 launches in 29 years), it doesn't seem like a wining proposition.

    Stratolaunch can probably fly higher than the L1011, which would give Pegasus new mission options it did not have before.

    The Pegasus L1011 is the last L1011 flying in the world, so it would be a shame to see it be retired, but I suppose that is the lifecycle of aircraft.

  8. Do you have to accept a consent form for viewing an ad?

  9. Also, tons of "social networking" sites ask for your email password, and have done so for decades. To "conveniently scan for your friends". It also spams said friends and compromises your email permanently.

    Anyone giving their email password over to a third party is a moron.

    You are thinking of Vanguard 1 the third satellite ever put into orbit. Its small and its in a 3,840 x 657 km orbit, so its going to be up there for centuries.

    Its upper stage booster is still up there too.

    I read they claim 300km. That's not so low. Certainly the ISS has dropped to that altitude, and Kim has fired ICBM's higher than this. But it's higher than the space shuttle used to fly.

    That is entirely incorrect. Hubble Space Telescope is at 540km and a Space Shuttle put it there.
