Or a very big trebuchet to fling 90 deadweight kilotons 300 kilometers.
- christophilus 3y agoThat’s ridiculous. It should be 350 kilometers to account for headwinds.
- devoutsalsa 3y agoIf you get it most of the way, it can just roll downhill the rest of the way.
- foobarian 3y agoWhat would be amazing is if you could capture it on the receiving and and recover the kinetic energy somehow to transport to the launching site.
- marcosdumay 3y agoWell, that's what wings are for.
- thfuran 3y agoThat doesn't sound at all like what wings are for.
- marcosdumay 3y agoOh, sorry, I meant recovering the energy to propel the ship. I overlooked the part about sending it back to the trebuchet.
