Thought occurred to me about this.

They should paint this thing red.

I think we all know why.

....da red wunz go fasta!....

Oh, it'll hit the ground intact. It won't stay that way afterwards, of course.

...That second "It"? I mean the ground.

*lol* so true. The end result might look like your avatar.

A co-worker mentioned a t-shirt launcher at sporting events, too.

Next thing we'll be developing mass drivers for orbital bombardment. Someone better warn the Narns

I can easily see the next generation of pumpkin chuckers.

Orbital drop bears.

Oh. And the other prototype is being built by General Atomics, csquared.

[Dreamstalker]

I want one

In AP physics, a couple groups built railguns for their final projects (I built a rocket). They were much, MUCH smaller, though, and didn't really work that well.

....the Navy's are way cooler.

[Jay 2K Winger]

That is so cool, I'm assuming it would be considered artillery?

Super cool! And once these have all the bugs ironed out, we can ramp up the size and use 'em for space launches.
