With satellites and other orbital vehicles, why in the world do we need an SR-72? I think it is a waste of money.

orbital and sub-orbital vehicles offer entirely different capabilities and inefficiencies.     SR-72 promises an on-demand spy platform, immune from spy-satellite attack, not to mention potential as a weapons platform.

Now, imagine if these birds could take of and land on aircraft carriers. Add laser weapons capability to it and now you have something that travels at 4,500 MPH that can fry pretty much anything it wants to. That’s a real “predator.”
