Is it necessary? It’s like men getting pregnant. Is there really a need?

That's a carrier plane? With fold-up wings and all?
Imagine a catapult launch in that thing!

It has a purpose: to launch rockets from higher altitudes.

I can’t decide if I like it or not. I guess I’ll just wait for more updates on it.

The Talon-A measures 28 ft long (8.5 m) with a wingspan of 11.3 ft (3.4 m) and has a total weight of 6,000 pounds (2,722 kg). Stratolaunch says the aircraft will be capable of autonomous take-off from a conventional runway, hitting Mach 6 speeds on long-duration flights, and then landing autonomously on the runway once the mission is complete.

No for ‘carriers’ it IS a ‘carrier’! It is for transporting LARGE stuff like rockets and cranes.
It is named for a giant mythological bird from “The Arabian Nights” stories that could pick off elephants................

That's a carrier plane? They mean mail carrier. For all the fake ballots the dems are going to need for drop box stuffing in November.
