Has it ever launched anything into orbital altitudes yet? So it's like AI, then? Let's pour money into it asap!

They'd have more luck just using a real big cannon , at least that was attempted in the 60's with Project HARP, with moderate success (180km altitude , prototype orbit circularisation system) before the project was cancelled.

Gauss cannon might work a lot better.
