at this point, I can't tell if it's false flaggers, redditors, or general retards
probably a combination of the three

I'm having a feeling that people are shitposting furiously for the sake of shitposting
surely people can't be this retarded genuinely

the whole point of those constructions are to be the equivalent of an airport
You can't just fly a jumbo jet off the highway, you need a damn good runway to do it
same with space, just more infrastructure to put down, compared to airports, but same thing when you look at it

While it'd be wonderful to get those cheap rockets, the numbers are not in our favour, thus we need to build the megastructures that will ease them as much as possible
Flying through the atmosphere drives those costs up, The point of the launch loop is to give you orbital velocity as well as bringing you above the atmosphere, making fuel costs being just a little bit for that last bit, and what you use in space proper
Unless we get something like metallic hydrogen available, or something of similar power, we'll need to use a launch assist method
