It's a bird, it's a plane .... it's Stratolaunch

Since the start of the space age, technology development has been hampered by one major problem: The launch cost per unit of payload mass has always been prohibitively high. This very effectively dissuades users from developing large orbital applications. Because there are no large applications to be launched, there is no strong incentive for anyone to develop a large and significantly less costly launch vehicle. This leads to a deadlock.
