The Air Force Is Actually Considering Rocket Launches to Move Cargo Around the Globe

I’d be really interested to see the detailed breakdown of these two cost structures. Launch still seems incredibly more expensive, but efficiency is stronger than ever before.
“In theory, the U.S. could eventually create a network of prepositioned supplies at spaceports, ready for quick packaging into a spacecraft.”
“While the cost of launching rockets is daunting, so is the cost of running fleets of sophisticated cargo planes. With launch prices falling, particularly with air-launched rockets such as the ones Virgin offers, space delivery could be an emergency option that pays off.”
