This article focuses on Longshot Space Technology's development of electromagnetic railguns to accelerate payloads to orbital velocities, presenting a distinct alternative to traditional chemical rocketry for space launch. The core subject matter addresses the physics and engineering challenges of achieving orbit without reusable first-stage rockets, which falls squarely within the domain of aerospace propulsion mechanics rather than consumer electronics or general software events. While the technology relies on advanced materials and control systems, the primary value proposition is a novel approach to orbital access infrastructure.
Forget rockets — Longshot wants to fire cargo into space from a gun. See it at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026

Longshot is trying to build a gun big enough to make space data centers a reality.
Rockets are, infamously, a real pain in the butt. Our old friend physics forces rockets to be built with almost no room for error, and even then only a small fraction of their weight makes it to orbit. There are, at least in theory, other ways to do the job—space elevators, centrifuges, or a big chain hanging from a satellite in space and scooping up cargo from Earth. (Blue Origin spent some time thinking about that one before the idea wound up in a Neal Stephenson novel.) And then there’s an idea dating all the way back to Jules…
