    Ok, so how does the orbital insertion burn work then? Are they rail gunning rocket engines and fuel up there too?

      Re-read the comment. “Physics has entered the chat” Its neither a yes or a no that its possible.

      Im sure you could accellerate a person gradually enough over a long enough distance in a sufficient vehicle to launch them into space. Wether its practical or if we have the tech yet isnt “physics”…
