Hello

This is what I hoped for, people discussing how to do it. More food for
thought. If the water column falls 3200 feet, you can accelerate the pulse to
escape velocity.

I have also hypothesized a lower cost nav system for launch. You use GPS to
create an invisible tunnel into orbit defined as a series of rectangles the
payload aims for. As it pierces each 'box'" it looks for the next one, and so
on.
