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?

Maybe Russia and China have this technology already. After Gearld Bull’s death and the folding of SRC those scientists and engineers had to go somwhere.They also had affiliated companies that included SRCQ (SRC Quebec), SRCI, Paragon, PRB (Belgian corporation), and SRCB (SRC Belgium).
