An orbital class booster isn't a booster that goes to orbit, it's a booster that is part of an orbital rocket stack. The important distinction is that the DC-X prototype was, at best, supersonic given the low altitude and flight time record, while any efficient booster powering an orbital spaceflight is easily going hypersonic by the time it's returning to Earth. |
