Sorry to put a dampener on things, but Thunderf00t has already done two debunking videos on SpinLaunch. He's rarely wrong. [LINK] [VIDEO]

It's as brilliant and a scam as Hyperloop. Balloons with a small launcher would be cheaper...but that's lame and not cool (marketing)....like normal trains instead of Hyper ;) Spinlaunch: BUSTED! 1+2 [LINK] [VIDEO]
