I think the hardening is pretty well understood - just fill any sensitive electronics etc. with resin and it's pretty much solved. But the heat problem certainly is not, and obviously humans, not being particularly amenable to being filled with protective resin, would be completely pulped without ridiculously long ramps.
I'm interested to know whether anything ever comes of this: https://www.wired.com/story/inside-spinlaunch-the-space-industrys-best-kept-secret/ https://www.wired.com/story/inside-spinlaunch-the-space-indu...
I'm sure I recall reading something on a forum somewhere from an anonymous former employee that claimed Spinlaunch was a mess and would never work.
