Coming back from the dead, the largest aircraft just flew a real payload

My first thought from the title was that they had somehow managed to repair the Antonov An-225 Mriya that was destroyed during the invasion of Ukraine. Kind of a let down, to be honest.

Stratolaunch also now own "Spirit of Mojave", formerly "Cosmic Girl", the 747 which virgin orbit used to own.

I've heard speculation that they'll likely switch to using it instead of the Roc for launching the Talon-A rocket-plane which this article mentions. Since the Roc uses so little of its payload capacity for launches like this.

Ah, no doubt a passenger load from New York’s Idlewild Airport to the Belgian Congo in 15 minutes.
