Could We Slingshot Rockets Into Space? 🤔

More info: Meet SpinLaunch’s Giant catapult that sends satellites into space without rocket fuel

will we ever land on Mars?

me on Tuesday morning at work after a long 3 day weekend

Sure, just hope we don’t accidentally launch them into the neighbor’s backyard!

For Anyone Curious: SpinLaunch is developing a "slingshot" system, a kinetic launch system, to launch satellites into orbit using a large rotating arm, aiming to revolutionize space launch by eliminating the need for traditional rocket fuel.

Astronauts gonna be like: ‘3…2…1… AHHHHHHHHH’ 💀

They have a different approach for launching nukes in 2028 to counter the asteroid heading here in 2032 I believe. Maybe a video about that would be a good one too.

Kudos to the Cameraman inside Rocket for such a clear and stable video

@elonmusk is that right ?

Very bad idea to do that
