Intermediate???

Hi LJK

Compared to a full scale SE of SF grade then a Slingatron might seem "intermediate" but it's damned difficult compared to a Brad Edwards SE.

Space Tram is an electromagnetic launcher concept that levitates the track into the atmosphere's upper reaches. It's pretty cool too, but a lot further off than an Edwards SE.
