Lot of red flags for Spinlaunch. > The test projectile "goes as fast as the orbital system needs, which is many thousands of miles an hour," Yaney told CNBC This is an evasive statement. The test projectile is nowhere near as fast as their planned orbital system. The challenges scale poorly. Acceleration (and resulting loads during the spin) scales with v^2. Then once you hit the atmosphere, drag and thermal flux increases with speed even faster. -- Here's John Carmack (who ran his own rocket company once, Armadillo Aerospace) on Spinlaunch. https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/1458870561606615046 https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/1458870561606615046
