Step into the future of space exploration with SpinLaunch! In this video, we explore a game-changing technology that's transforming satellite deployment. Spi...
And some things never are. I don’t think spin launch is doomed to failure, but there are definitely projects that some people take seriously that are legitimately never going to happen
Eh… eventually anything we are trying to do now short of things that would break natural laws will be possible at one point or another.
For instance, even though something crazy like the Theranos Edison is impossible with current and even near future tech, it’s going to be possible one day, which is a certainty.
Strange that a bunch of aerospace and mechanical engineers believe it is, and have tested the math, yet some random person who probably doesn’t even work on STEM believes they have the better idea.
I can’t tell if you genuinely think you’re smarter than these people or if this is just the classic “space craft are stupid!” Rhetoric that’s become popular since Musk started SpaceX.

It’s not that strange. There are lots of people willing to con others out of investment money.

You’re wrong there

I don’t think I’m smarter than these people. I think I’m smarter than the people being conned by these people. Spacecraft certainly aren’t stupid. A lot of what SpaceX has done in spite of Musk has been amazing to see. Their rocket engine development is some of the coolest stuff out there. It’s too bad that the company is led by a con man who makes grandiose claims that they’ll never live up to.
You don’t need to be Stephen Hawkings to understand that the bottleneck is not in the launch sling but in the satellite themselves. The idea is in the same league as the space elevator; sure you can do it, but is it better than rockets?
Usually when a SpinLaunch article or video is posted, all the armchair Physic PhDs show up pontificating on why it’s doomed to fail.
Well it’s been almost ten years and they still aren’t launching into space so I’d say they’ve been correct so far.
Everything is impossible, until it isn’t.
Being possible and being feasible aren’t the same thing.

You’re dreaming of you think this is remotely feasible.
