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).
