- itishappy 2y agoSpinLaunch: ~10000G Rocket: ~5G So roughly 3 orders of magnitude.
- rbanffy 2y ago> SpinLaunch: ~10000G I admit I was surprised people were able to build hardware that survived that.
- Mistletoe 2y agoWow are there issues with making things like chips that can even survive that? I remember when I was a scientist and 10,000g was some very high speed centrifuging that you better make sure everything like even glass and plastic can handle.
