sadly spinlaunch is bogus and the whole concept doesn't really work out. [0] [0] ▶ this video (Spinlaunch: BUSTED! by Thunderf00t)
It's as brilliant and a scam as Hyperloop. Balloons with a small launcher would be cheaper...but that's lame and not cool (marketing)....like normal trains instead of Hyper ;) Spinlaunch: BUSTED! 1+2 ▶ this video link
Hopefully NASA watched this video, before making the contacts public instead of first examining the claims privately. "Spinlaunch: BUSTED!": ▶ this video
Sorry to put a dampener on things, but Thunderf00t has already done two debunking videos on SpinLaunch. He's rarely wrong. ▶ this video link
If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Spinlaunch: BUSTED!: ▶ this video Spinlaunch: BUSTED (Part 2): link
