Mass drivers on the moon will shoot AI satellites into deep space; self-sustaining lunar city will follow.

Mass drivers on the moon will shoot AI satellites into deep space; self-sustaining lunar city will follow. | I really want to see the mass driver on the moon that is uh shooting AI satellites into deep space. just go like sh just one after the other. I can't imagine anything more epic than a mass driver on the moon and a self-sustaining city on the moon and then going beyond the moon to Mars, going throughout our solar system and ultimately uh going being out there among the stars

Watch events: Starcloud Blackwell satellite (Oct 2026); Google Project Suncatcher demo satellite; FCC DC filings
