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, ok. 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...

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 thing pulling as it goes around? so, the system pulls 10,000 gs 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 12,500 g. it still wo...

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...

And got it up to 12,500 g. it still works. 0op! hmm. the company says it's eventually planning for up to five launches a day and it will cost about $500,000 per launch, compared to $7 million for a rocket launch. before then, testing is ongoing using the 33m arm in new mexico and a 12m arm here in long beach, california. and i've been invited to witness a test launch first—hand. now, the 12m accelerator won't be launching into the air. this much smaller projectile will be fired down a tube and straight into a steel plate. what happens to this after it's launched from that? so this mostly tur...
