So this is neat. Launching rockets into space using kinetic energy from spinning. If this continues to work out it would be badass.

"SpinLaunch, a start-up that is building an alternative method of launching spacecraft to orbit, conducted last month a successful first test flight of a prototype in New Mexico.

The Long Beach, California-based company is developing a launch system that uses kinetic energy as its primary method to get off the ground – with a vacuum-sealed centrifuge spinning the rocket at several times the speed of sound before releasing."

Imagine the carnage if the release is off by even milliseconds though.

It's awesome seeing ideas like this come to life.
