Comment 2km ring,..is not what I thought it was... (Score 1) 612
I had a look at the picture, thats no ring, its an open ended loop.
I thought the ring whould indeed be a ring, placed so many feet in the air, the ship launchs, aims to the center of the ring, and get a boost from the surrounding pulsating magnetic fields, helping it in orbit.
But alas, they dont want to use that yet.
