Quote: "While the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter is capable of zooming up into the stratosphere at high speed, they cannot carry heavier, outsized launch vehicles at the required performance that will allow larger payloads to be inserted into low Earth orbit."
Their own SEC filings admit they literally do not have the planes required for their main orbital program (StarLaunch 2).
