>You dont want the game to he so realistic that people have to do math to play the game. Wouldn't be that fun then.
Yeah thats Orbiter territory which I don't find as fun as KSP, but KSP has its limits too especially when it comes to non-rocket spacelaunches which aren't really possible in game.

Would it be worth it to make a high altitude mass driver/coil gun space launch system? Build it around a mountain, for example. Do it at the high elevation and angle to minimize drag. And we'll need some ablator for sure.
I'm talking cargo, not humans.

Probably.

Something like sled could be used on the moon.

Isn't the problem of gunning something into space mostly a matter of aerodynamics? No need to actually use a 1 meter long barrel.

I want my own small sattelite with a cam on it

Is there an easy way to do this?

I know some python and networking theory

the city is surrounded by a vaccuum enclosed circular mass driver, powered by the cities reactors. city becomes the worlds cheapest most efficient space port.
