I like the technology. It has a lot of promise.NASA can use this technology to launch satellites into orbits instead of using rockets.

At the present time the Army has developed the “Excalibur” a 155mm projectile that is steerable. At ignition it produces 16,000 G's. In order to launch a projectile into space would require much higher G forces solely because of the size and the amount of energy needed to send it into space.
Using rockets as we presently doing does not create those initial G forces.
We can only hope that our technology can overcome this one problem.
My problem, is will Obama give this technology to China and Russia?
