Magnetic Catapult a feasible advanced earth launcher

A 9000 meter long magnetic catapult was proposed in 2003 by Warren D Smith, mathematician at Temple University. It was designed to launch 5 meter long, 1 meter diameter projectiles at 2250 gees of constant acceleration with a launch velocity of 20km/s (twice earth escape velocity, Mach 58). It would cost about $2-20 billion to …
