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...

And can you, just one more time, go over what it is you're planning to do, because it's like... i still can't believe it. so, spinlaunch is capable of literally throwing satellites into space. laughs we will cut the laughing. yep, you heard it right. david and i are currently looking at a live video feed of a prototype spinlauncher in new mexico. when the full—size one is built, it will take a small satellite, stick it inside a giant dart, load it onto a 100m—long arm, gradually spin it round and round, faster and faster, and then...let it go at 5,000 miles an hour. don't believe me? i don...
