I think it is awesome that someone decided to combine high pressure, high vacuum, transsonic speeds and concrete in one place over and over again.
I think it's even more awesome that their proof of concept involves PVC pipe.
I am absolutely delighted that they're listing their speeds in terms of mach numbers when they've got high pressure on one side and vacuum on the other.
And in all honesty what Iove about this is it cracked open the SpinLaunch scam.

So look. According to that deeply stupid techcrunch article, these dipshits closed a $1.5m "pre-seed round" last april. Who are their funders? Sam Altman, Tim Draper and whoever the fuck SpaceFund is laundering money for. Now - is $1.5m going to eight dipshits with a potato gun?
Or is it going to these guys?
'cuz here's the thing: Tim Draper piled a bunch of money into obvious shit like Skype, Ring, Robinhood and Twitch. He also piled a bunch of money into Theranos. He also... I mean, you have to watch at least five minutes of this it's like an Andy Kaufman bit
And it occurred to me that at a certain level, startups that will never ever ever fucking make back their money are really goddamn handy for the modern Venture Capital economy.
