In response to "It is impressive what they've done in such a short time -- nm" by oblique

I'd put it on the same innovation level as SpaceX's self-landing rockets.

The cost to orbit could plunge, again, if this takes off.

And then SpaceX could mostly focus on human travel, while spinlaunch handles (a lot of) cargo/satellite travel.

You could orbit an assembly facility and then launch raw materials ... get it to a point where it can forge the materials in orbit, then capture an asteroid and rebuild it into a full Star Trek-style Spacedock station
