Morgan, eat your heart out? I don't think so. Morgan is looking for a use for the Perlan 2 after they set a height record. Launching space craft might be just the thing. NASA has looked at a glider launch pad with an aero tow to 40,000ft, Well Morgan can launch into the Sierra wave straight from Mojave from a 5000ft tow, soar up to 50,000ft and launch his rocket! Think of the fuel savings.
