Looks like a spin on one of Gerald Bull’s long range cannon.

As a kid I did something similar with a pipe from a chain-link fence and a tennis ball.

Filled it with something and an M80, and set it off. I still don’t know if the tennis ball returned to earth.

I know I lost sight of it almost immediately while it was still on it’s way up.

“Ruggedized” electronics?

Nothing of real value will survive hundreds of gees. Now, if you wanted to shoot something down, this’ll do it.

Article says 30,000g. Maybe a little much for humans to withstand.

In 1957, I had my own "Cat In Space" program.

I was ahead of the American military.
