3,600-foot SPACE CANNON!
.
Currently it costs NASA $5,000 PER POUND to send things into space, but someone has a solution. Starting in 1992 John Hunter has been continually working on an easier less expensive way to send things into space. His solution? SPACE CANNON! The Cannon works by initially compressing hydrogen gas, then pressurizing it further with the application of heat to eventually build up enough energy that when released can shoot 1000 pounds of supplies at 13,000 mph. The downside is its not so probable for humans to use because of the 5,000 G’s during acceleration. The cannon will initially cost $5,000,000 but through the use of the cannon NASA’s bill for sending one pound of supplies into space will cost a mere $250, compared to the current cost of $5000 per pound, making the project defiantly worth the start up price of $5 million.
