      Yeah but that has been conceptualized for a century. It’s actually one of the oldest hypothetical methods of breaking earth orbit (a giant cannon that fires a rocket to the moon being depicted as one of the early silent films).

      It is also a very practical solution to the fuel and weight limitations of solid rocket boosters.

      It just seems weird to put in this comm because it is not at all an absurd or even far fetched idea.

      Once again only seems like it is here because China.

        Dunno what to tell you. I just found the concept funny to think about. You can report the post if you want, or just ignore it.

          Already did. I was just curious what you thought was funny about it. It should have just gone in any of the space or science comms, putting it here just feels like typical lib china bashing is all.
