151 - " If we used lunar mass drivers as an example, getting material into orbit becomes far easier than from the gravity well we inhabit."

Shooting ingots into space using mass drivers from the moon is rather interesting.

However, ingots won't do it. Try mass driving JPL, or Boeing, or Northrop into space - it doesn't work.
