Some congress critter is associated with the government funding of this waste. I wonder who it is.
Ah. Yes, lifting a rocket the first few miles makes for the bulk of rocket mass. Hence Virgin Galactic’s approach of a large airplane doing the initial ~5 mile lift; much less mass needed when launching from up there.
Do though wonder then what the rocket’s mass is for SpinLaunch. That still leaves very little mass for satellite itself.
I’ve seen some numbers on that. G force is insane, into the tens of thousands if I recall correctly.
Whatever the viability of the technology being developed is, it’s being handed over to the Chinese, lock, stock and barrel, asse speak, a.k.a., in real time. Industrial scale spying is no longer a bug, it is now a (deep state/globalist) feature.
