Spinlaunch is a joke. No payload is built to withstand those kinds of forces during a launch and the added weight to reinforce them to do so makes it uneconomical.

They are even offering to pay companies the extra cost to reinforce their payloads to try and get customers and they still can't get anyone to do it.

It certainly can't help that Spinlaunch can't put anything into space.

I was gonna say. Wut? They have a demo that probably fooled all the investors lol.
