Starfighters Space (NYSE:FJET) is trying to build one of the most unusual launch systems in the space market. Its STARLAUNCH program uses a supersonic F-104 as a reusable first stage, potentially lowering small satellite launch costs while creating a new path into defense, hypersonic testing, and orbital services.
