It’s not really a sling-shot, but a magnetic propulsion gun may be the next best way to get your satellite of choice into orbit.
Andrew Liszewski for OhGizmo! has a great article about just how it may be done in the future. That’s some really cool stuff.

Looking at that new wireless keyboard or mouse for your new Visa machine? Forget the wireless, try keyboardless and mouseless. That’s right, it may not be long before you’ll have the opportunity to “jack” right into your computer. This recent article on CNN Money and Business 2.0 teases us with just that, but is it […]

I don’t want to associate myself too much with […]
