    Excellent analogy, but now I want the math. Think we could push this past the gravity well? Fuck space elevator, I got ejecto-volcano cuz.

      Isn’t a space cannon or whatever it’s called a very old sci-fi idea?

        It’s like the oldest, it’s how Jules Verne sent men to the moon in “From the Earth to the Moon”

          Pretty much as soon as a cannon got invented and shot, some guys were like “…maybe we could shoot ourselves out of that…”

            New idea: build a small town on top of the block that’s placed on top of the vulcano and start exploring space(and colonise other planets).

      I’m pretty certain that it would destroy whichever object was launched. The air friction alone would tear it apart.
