I think a reusable orbital tug which rendezvous with payloads is the play here. The tug would refuel from some of the gun-launched payloads.

- modeless 2y agoI think it would probably have to refuel with every payload. Changing orbits that fast isn't cheap. It would be cool to see an analysis of this, I don't know if it would really make sense. I've seen some interviews with the space gun guys but unfortunately nobody really pressed them on this issue and they didn't mention any plans for space tugs.
