Granted... nut there is already enough yelling about how much the Space Agency is costing. It seems to me that people want to have their cake and eat it to! How many FReeper would get behind a multi-billion dollar outlay that it would take to run a maglev line long enough to toss something into high atmosphere.... A rough guestimate in length is something like 8 miles of constant 10 g acceleration... I have not done the calculations but that is a rough guess by heads much wiser than mine. I can't imagine the amount of hollering and screaming and yelling that would be done. Especially if it were done in a state like Colorado.... Think of the ski slopes that would have to be used think of all the poor little animals that would be displaced etc. etc. That was sarcasm by the way. Nothing against anyone here but from the posts I have read on this thread I don't think that there would be much support for the idea even if it were feasible at this time.
