I've asked once before, I'll ask again: what weapons system would benefit from sub-orbital altitudes? And hyper-sonic speeds? You realize that dropping a bomb at those parameters would involve actually releasing the weapon over the wrong country in certain circumstances?
The aviation arms race has perenially sought to fly higher than the competition, faster than the competition.
Now we've got *civilians* flying higher and faster than military F-22's.
Based upon history, flying higher and faster are military advantages. We dismiss such achievements at our own peril, too.
Our enemies won't.
