Ummm... you're making things up. From the summary: "Importantly, our investigation has revealed no evidence of any access or impact to any of your health or medical records or any health or medical data," So this isn't good at all, but it (apparently, and at least so far) has nothing to do with medical record data that falls under HIPPA.

Comment More like a first stage (Score 1) 200

It looks like the payload will exit the centrifuge at 5,000 mph, not full orbital speed. So this is more like a first stage boost, with additional thrust required to reach orbit. While the g and atmospheric forces when exiting the centrifuge are still significant, they are much lower than if they were attempting full orbital speed via the centrifuge. https://www.spinlaunch.com/faq
