    One of the best ideas I've ever heard or watched, perfect. Just perfect

    I like the CEO’s answer.

    The incredible precision timing required to release the projectile is very cool, where can I go to educate myself how that is accomplished?

      I know all secret sauce to spinlaunch, what do you want to know ?

    I love it. I hope this will be implemented to all launches , and save the planet from the damage made by propellant effect to the environment.

      In most cases, the propellant is liquid hydrogen and oxygen, burning to make water. How is that bad for the environment? The solid rocket boosters may be a bit sus, but I'm pretty sure they take environmental pollution serious. Don't want to poison the entire launch site every time you send something up.

    If this chamber needs to be in near total vacuum, size will work against it. The longer the arm gets the more the centripetal force will want to rip it apart. And even if it would survive turning that fast, I'd predict the arm to superheat and burn up as soon as air rushes in on launch. The sudden pressure change might even explode the entire chamber. It looks so nice at small scale, but sizing things up, is going to be an enormous undertaking and might not be possible. And then I'm not even going after a hypersonic projectile flying out of a vacuum chamber at sea level, where the air is thickest and that thing will heat up by friction incredibly fast. There is a reason why supersonic planes fly at high altitude and then still have to be made from special titanium alloys to keep the thing from melting.

    Oh BBC this isn't going to work. Thunderfoot did a good explanation of why

    This was a brilliant episode, thank you to the Click team for uploading this clip as it was a pleasure to watch again. I would be concerned that there are enough failsafes if the vacuum became, well, not a vacuum! 🤣 But good luck to them!

    for 5KG satellite, solid boster much cheaper to make.

    The real problem with this technology is hurling stuff into space
    and getting the exact velocity for the orbit required so lots of bugered
    launches and space junk all over the shop

      @jboomhauer 2 года назад +1

      It can't reach orbit. You still need rockets. Just less fuel.

    Spinlaunch is going broke because the CEO Jonathan Yaney is more into the goats he has living inside the Long Beach facility. Investors need to really check this place and their money...High level staff pay parking tickets with company credit cards.

      No. This is impossible to launch humans (in living form and shape) using this technology. At least until somebody invent a technology to compensate/ignore inertia and gravity.
