The we simplify it by putting the winch on rails, and give the glider wheels, then we can chain them together and then we’ve reinvented the railroad, badly.

- renewiltord 1y agoYes, then we could put wheels on my grandmother and we would have invented a bicycle badly https://youtu.be/A-RfHC91Ewc?si=uMjPf00zqbJHfSwn https://youtu.be/A-RfHC91Ewc?si=uMjPf00zqbJHfSwn We are so smart that we can take good things and modify them in stupid ways to make bad things. This is, in fact, very smart of us. Winch launching is already a thing https://youtu.be/U3ztaJ0yfxE?si=1AjAS8F8-pCaUFZI https://youtu.be/U3ztaJ0yfxE?si=1AjAS8F8-pCaUFZI
