At first, I thought the missile was a MOAB... Nice mistake on my part as it got me thinking. Imagine if you would being able to tow a MOAB near the target, and release the glider for an extended penetration... Then after drop, have a couple of small cruise missile turbofans assist the glider in an autonomous return-to-base. It would allow any jet or turboprop with sufficient thrust, to deliver the MOAB, with minimal risk to the crew.

Its certainly a better way to do multi-stage launches. Instead of multi-stage rockets... multistage airplanes. So much easier to reuse.

So why don't they do it? That's the first question you should always ask. The answer is probably that the very lower stage of a rocket's burn isn't a big deal in terms of efficiency. Rockets are huge things, which means air density isn't as big a deal. Also they aren't moving very fast at this low stage in the burn so the air is also not a big deal again. (I mean if you wanted to go the air lift route, then a balloon would be even more efficient, but once again it's probably not a notable improvement, just something to wow the ignorant public with. Just some tantalizing impractical solutions, to carve a little more funding from congress)

Why can't they just attach the rocket to the top of the Boeing like they did with the Space Shuttle. When the Boeing reaches desired altitude, it performs a 180º barrel roll. Drops the rocket down and it flies into space while the plane flips back to normal flight. I know there are probably very good reasons that this wouldn't work but I just had to say it.

I don't think they are designed to be intentionally flown upside down. I'm sure you could, but legally I'm betting the burocracy, in NASA, would get in the way.
