Why are we throwing an apple at each other . Because this weeks first story is about launching satellites into orbit. Oh, youre not gonna try to launch this apple into orbit, are you . No, but if i did, which direction would i have to launch it . Not upwards. Not up because if i did, it will come straight back down again. Thats gravity. Thats gravity no, if you wanted this to go into orbit, you would have to make it go really fast sideways, about 17,000 miles an hour, so as it fell, it missed the surface of the earth and just went around it. Thats why rockets need so much fuel. Exactly which h...

There is a small rocket that get you all the way there. right, 0k. the vehicle is passively stable, so you can see it has a heavy tip in the front, fins in the back. that provides passive stability that stabilises it like a dart. so if it comes out a little bit sideways, it automatically stabilises. how many gs is this pulling as it goes around? so, the system pulls 10,0006s at peak speed. you can't put people in this, can you? you cannot put people. i mean, you could put people in but you won't get people out. to prove it works, these guys put an iphone 4 into the accelerator and got it up to...

By getting the projectile above the atmosphere, you've done away with the need for most of your fuel and most of your weight. without air resistance, a much smaller rocket can then get the satellite up to 17,000 miles an hour and into orbit. spinlaunch gets you most of the way there and then, there is a small rocket that get you all the way there. right, 0k. the vehicle is passively stable, so you can see it has a heavy tip in the front, fins in the back. that provides passive stability that stabilises it like a dart. so if it comes out a little bit sideways, it automatically stabilises. how m...
