The engineering does seem to be quite hard but what do folks here think
about the math behind the core idea? Is the delta V provided by this
launch system worth the reduced size of the overall vehicle? When I first
read about Spin Launch and did some basic math it looked like the launcher
would provide (iirc) ~25-30% of the delta V required for orbit which didn't
seem like much and therefore not worth all the hassle. However, I didn't
take atmospheric drag into consideration at all. Maybe that makes things
work out better?
