- logfromblammo 10y agoI was just explaining how possible it is. I am skeptical that anything like it will ever actually be built on Earth. Other non-rocket launch technologies do seem more promising. If you could build a mass driver launcher between Galapagos and Ecuador, you could likely build a launch loop in the same spot for less capital, less operating cost, and higher capacity.
