A launch loop doesn't make sense, it's too risky (from a business sense) for this sort of project and too expensive too.

Also, the obvious use of a launch loop is for launch, of course. Why serve a market where prices are cents per kilogram when you can serve a market where prices are hundreds of dollars per kilo? And with less capital investment too.




True, but maybe he needs a smaller scale, proof of principle launch loop before building a larger, faster? one for actual launching.
