A startup called SpinLaunch is aiming to revolutionize the space industry by developing a new system for launching rockets into orbit. The company’s unique approach involves using a giant centrifuge to slingshot rockets into space, rather than relying on traditional rocket engines.

And I thought this year was all about flying cars and bikes!

Innovations this Day is CRAZY!

SpinLaunch’s system is designed to reduce the cost and environmental impact of launching payloads into space.

Currently, launching a single satellite into orbit can cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and the process can have significant environmental impacts due to the emissions produced by rocket engines.
