Worth considering that nearly all of these hypersonic weapons rely on a pretty beefy booster to get the initial altitude and energy. I don't know what the range/time range off between these hypersonic solutions versus a pure ballistic solution would be. In a military context, these hypersonics grant a variety of interesting capabilities, all of which seem relatively irrelevant to civilian applications.
