I wonder how they plan to handle the heat generated? Maybe you don't need the same kind of acceleration for a rail launcher than with a rail gun.
If they used the same acceleration as a rail gun they'd only be sending bodies to space, not people.
The plans ive seen for similar stuff are cargo only.
Sure, but they've specified they plan to transport people and cargo.
Long enough track and it's probably fine
I mean... a gun would need a much shorter distance to launch a projectile to be useful. A rail launcher for spacecraft could be WAY longer and still be useful, maybe that will help keep heat under control?
