Tests will be carried out at 1.2 mile long low-vacuum track high-speed maglev test facility in Datong, generally used when researching magnetic levitation train technology
Within coming years, the Datong test facility will be extended to 37.2 miles long, to achieve a maximum operating speed of a staggering 5,000km/h.
It’s still would be like 1-2 km, if they aim at 10g. And they still need to find another 20 machs from rocket booster.
Doing full railgun with small rockets is more poggers (without humans obv )
biiiiig track incoming
from daily mail
That would still be a rough ride for a person, but it could absolutely revolutionize getting construction materials into orbit.
If you assume humans are frictionless spheres they could probably ride on that second one
They will be spheres if they do ride on it. Several in fact.
