Sundry clever primates around the world,   OK, OK, I know.  The gun thing won't work for orbital delivery of stuff to build Europan probes because one can't shave the big bump off of the resultant wobbling orbit ... or +- something like that.   However if one were to cant the trajectory of an equatorial gun back a little to the west, a projectile could be delivered which would "die" into a geosynchronous orbit.  Granted, you'd only get one shot per gun per day, but at say a ton per shot ...   Then from this orbit, a finished product could be dropped and sling-shotted with Earth gravity assist to wherever.   From another of my cerebral railroad sidings - an inflatable Mylar geosynchronous space station would be a pretty handy toy too - at say 95% gun delivered.   I await the group's scorn.   Jack
